Eternal Love: Romantic Poetry Straight from the Heart
How can I find a person to love and share the rest of my life? Will true love come to me naturally? How can I build a relationship. The poems in my book answer these questions. People are eager to find true love—love that will not last a short period of time, but for a lifetime. Eternal Love is designed to answer these questions and more. It is divided into two sections that correspond with the way most people “experience” love: explanation of love (research) and the love poems (using poems and love letters that I created). Each part highlights a particular aspect of love, what love is, and how it can be obtained.

Stacey has a different attitude about life. No longer, shy about divulging her medical history. She is now hard at work on a book about her condition, hoping to dispel some of the unfortunate myths that have made it difficult for epileptics to keep jobs and friends.

Customer Reviews
A reviewer, July 26, 2004,
LEARNING TO COPE WITH EPILEPSY
A reviewer, someone who reads many books. Epilepsy is a very hard disorder to live with emotionally, physically and mentally. Epilepsy Your Not Alone shows you how to cope with the disorder, look at life positively and gives you the inspiration you need to get on with your life. I recommend it to people who have the disorder, family members and friends.
My name is Donna, and I just want you to know that I bought your book a few years ago and it was very encouraging to me, really did get a lot out of it. I'd recommend it to anyone else who has E, and his or her family members who'd want to understand what it's like to live with this condition. It surely does help to know we're not alone in this.
A reviewer,
GREAT BOOK!
I just finished your book Epilepsy; You're not Alone and thought I'd tell you how much I appreciated it. The positive attitude was very refreshing and a welcome change from the 'Why me?' stories that I read so often.
A reviewer,
Finally an epilepsy book from a personal perspective
This book is an excellent self-help book from the perspective of someone who has epilepsy. All too often in books about epilepsy the point of view is that of a physician who personally does not deal with epilepsy on a day-to-day basis. It's nice to read what fellow epileptics have done in order to better cope with epilepsy. The personal accounts are inspirational.

Editorial Reviews
'Life deals us many hard blows that we often don't expect. I admire the fact that someone like Stacey Chillemi was thrown a curve ball that may have knocked many of us down to the point where many of us may not have wanted to get back up, but she did. It wasn't easy but she possesses a determined spirit that won't let her give up. For that reason Stacey will go far and achieve whatever dreams she sets her mind to accomplish.'Della Crew
