THE BOOK OF BETSY
Forever 19!
with an Epilogue: CAN THERE BE LOVE AFTER LOVE?
Robert Hitt Neill
Robert Hitt Neill’s 14th book “The Book of Betsy: Forever 19” is a warm epic love story, featuring a real Southern Belle, Hospitality Queen, and Ole Miss Rebelette with a national championship football team: Betsy, his wife of 55 years. Yet their love story tragically ends the week of that 55th Anniversary with her sudden death. Bob became a virtual hermit in their huge plantation home, wanting to die himself, to go be with his beloved. Then a chance business meeting with Betsy’s former roommate, sorority sister, and best friend, Cindy, who had been widowed ten years before rekindles… Love after love!
Excerpts:
1.) Listen to me carefully here: In a good solid loving marriage, a man can have female friends (as opposed to Girl Friends), and a woman can have male friends (as opposed to Boy Friends). You just have to be careful about the S-Word.
2.) Bob, we are now not just engaged to be wed. I prefer the Biblical word: Betrothed. You will be true to me, and I will be true to you. Neither of us has Known another, in the Biblical sense, and that’s the way it’s always going to be. I do Not Believe in Divorce, understand? But…I DO believe in Murder!
3.) Betsy, I understand you. But I don’t get “Why Me?” You could have any man: Handsome, Rich, got a horse farm… Why Me? She snuggled closer as I drove, and leaned her head on my shoulder. “Well, let’s just say that I chased you until you caught me!”
