 Welcome to the Helen Bonner Web site!
Hello, Friends and
Friends of Friends.
If you believe, as I
do, there are far too few books that portray the retired as intelligent,
dynamic, loving and even sexual, you should check out my short memoir,
First Love Last, which just came out and is now available on
Amazon.com, Lulu.com, or your book store can order it for
you.
When my estranged husband
of fifty years showed up at a class reunion, I did not know him or want
to know him. He had nothing to do with our two sons for years, and my
memories of our early marriage were not pleasant. Yet, when I looked
into his eyes, my arms went around him. “Tommy!” I did not understand
my spontaneous reaction, nor the chaotic relationship that followed, but
I felt then, and still feel that our story was somehow miraculous, and
should be shared with others of my generation, especially those bitterly
divorced when a divorce required that someone be bad or wrong. I wanted
to tell it as honestly as I could, even when the truth didn’t make me
look all that good, often quoting e-mails and journal entries exactly as
they were written. As a student of A Course in Miracles, I felt
guided all the way. I included wisdom quotes from sages reminding me
that whether we know it or not, “we are all connected.”
