A Story One Will Love Forever
Now if one was to write a moving book about the unconditional love a parent and child share, they would not expect to see on the cover, a two-year-old demolishing the bathroom. Such is the juxtaposition in both art and text that has moved millions to buy Love You Forever.

Now she is sick and the son returns the favor. He then has a daughter of his own, and rocks her back and forth singing the same song.
