Tears of Steel by Jacques G. Greco

Haunted by the faded ghost of an unforgiving father that he is unable to forget and the tender shadow of a girl’s smile that he can barely remember, he fills his career-driven life with self-indulgent distractions to escape his pain: travel, adventure and, most notably, beautiful women. Yet, he cannot escape her. Each time her spectral image appears he breaks off whatever current relationship he is involved in, mercilessly shredding to pieces the hearts of innumerable women along the way. Many times he comes to the brink of placing her somewhere at the outer limits of his memory, but he never manages to. And the lingering face continues to torment him. That is until he feels the frozen kiss of death approaching in the moments before a nearly fatal crash. Behind a bloodstained dashboard, the shadow of her smile appears once more, and gradually his memory returns home. She was the only woman he ever loved but he lost her in a fatal car accident. She had promised to always be by his side, to return even from death in order to be with him. Will she keep her promise? Is it only a dream? And yet, dreams sometimes come true. A beautiful tale of fathers, friendship, love and loss, romance and hate, professional success and personal disaster, all encompassed by the twilight of a captivating mystery, “Tears of Steel” offers profound insights into our most personal relationships and our deepest emotions.
