The Ones That I Know (e-book) (used book) | Burt Rashbaum | bookbook.eu

Description

An evermore common occurrence: An email or text appears from someone you haven't heard from since grade school, or a friend from decades ago, with whom you were close in college. Or you hear from one who once helped you in some crucial way, but was almost forgotten. Social media has become such a great connector; these stories happen with more frequency, all over the world. It is said that people incarnate in groups. Certain friendships seem deeper than those than can be created in this life alone. THE ONES THAT I KNOW is a novel of one such group. Close in their early lives, with formative experiences shaping them, through circumstances they are flung apart. Bringing them together is the publication by one of them of a book connecting them in its pages, and then reconnecting them all. Wrestling with questions of friendship, true love, devotion, dreams, disappointment, success, and ultimately, life itself, THE ONES THAT I KNOW explores what is important, and what is of value to anyone trying to find life's meaning. The characters experience a connection going beyond death but also coming from before birth, one far deeper than even they realize.
