And what's wrong with keeping alive a private connection to love by remembering the paths not taken, the men not engaged with? Love and Happiness tackles the eternal, essential subjects of love and commitment through one woman's struggle to sort out her romantic life. But the course of love doesn't run smooth for a harried woman in her mid-thirties who feel her choices and responsibilities solidifying around her, becoming permanent.
It's the prism through which she sees the world, the stuff of the independent movies she produces in New York City, and it created the son and daughter she shares with her director husband, Sam.
There is beauty.Jean Banks won't give up on love. I wrote because, just as we will fall in life, so will we rise. They became my deepest attempt to, not just pick myself up, but others along the way. The words found in this book became my voice and my letter to the world. And so I wrote, as I walked through my own. I wanted people to thrive inside their storms.
I didn’t just want people to survive inside their storms. I wanted to give back, in hopes of helping myself and others survive. The things I saw and learned and gained along my lifepath needed a voice. Sometimes, all it took was one solid wave to destroy what I had spent years building. I’ve fallen many times chasing mirages, and broken many bones making castles in life’s fading sands. It’s hard not to give up when we face the repeated disappointments of life. Many of us know the reality of struggle, and so many people suffer in silence. And so is loss. Sometimes it’s hard not to let the weight of what we carry-or the memory of what we’ve lost-take over. Like many of you, my journey hasn’t always been easy.
