One moth. One flame.
An end. A beginning.
Alaska will be our last stop; a chance to recreate our life together. More simply, it is our escape plan. We do not know what lies ahead, only that we have to leave behind our recent escapades. I am not stupid, but I am reconciled, if necessary, to life in an igloo. I do not see this as desperation, perhaps because I do not see forward clearly.

ORANGE CAPPUCCINO
Upon reading this book, some might judge the main character and say that he did an unforgivable thing in leaving his wife and family for the love of another woman. Nothing in life is quite that simple, least of all, love and relationship.
Love at its most pure and basic level is fleeting and subject to change—it comes and goes. The conditional conventions of marriage can do nothing to prevent this, for love is too complex. It goes far beyond the realm of physical attraction as ‘Orange Cappuccino’ so aptly points out.
The thing that I enjoyed most about ‘Orange Cappuccino’ was its honesty. Josh, the main character, makes no excuse for what he did. It was something that just happened, and he knew from the start—there would certainly be a price to pay. Mr. Dennstedt makes no bones about making sure that the reader understands that love is not just ‘wine and roses’, and best of all, he does it in simple fashion.
The book is light-hearted in terms of its writing, but leaves the reader with a serious and burning question: “In all its many twists and turns, what is the nature of love?”
My thanks go out to Mr. Dennstedt for writing such a book. Enjoy—it’s well worth the read!

Absolutely awesome book. I couldn't put it down once I started. The way this author put thoughts into words is magnificent & poetic. Not a jagged knife laceration but a sterile, precise incision of the soul. That's the best way I can explain it. He takes you on a journey of love from an encompassing, deep, raw & insightful perspective. As we all know, life is not perfect but at the same time it is. Every moment & event has meaning. This author understands that. He takes the thoughts that are experienced, but render us speechless, and forms them into beautifully written words. Life is not about the destination but truly about the journey. This book delights & holds us to each moment of the journey.
Orange Cappucino is raw, honest, full of insight. It is captivating from beginning to end.....actually I did not want it to end and I am looking forward to my "next cup" from this author.
