| Wayne attends the blue-collar Drexel, while Nancy is at Ivy League Penn right in the same neighborhood. Both with different lifestyles, yet are immediately drawn together. The 60¢s pose a conflict between their families, along with religion, and other factors, as their romance slowly develops. Of course love in paradise soon proves it is not meant for Wayne and Nancy. In time, Wayne ends up marrying a nice girl by the name of Ingrid, yet the love he shared with Nancy still presses in his mind. As the years pass before them, Nancy recalls Wayne, and when she is able to see him again, she questions if he remembers how they would talk about God. She has prayed often for Wayne¢s return, believing they could have a chance together if he would walk away from Ingrid and his family. Wayne is torn with so many memories. Does he really love Ingrid, or is she just a second choice because he couldn¢t have Nancy at the time? With both women within his fingertips, Wayne faces a tough decision. Can he honestly do the right thing by walking out on Ingrid and his family, or is he too blind to really see the important thing in life?
Coinage of Commitment is about love, family, duty and the chances that many gather in life only to lose them, and if one is able to have that second chance again, sometimes it isn¢t what one expects. Wayne and Nancy exhibit emotions that clearly come across in the pages. The 60¢s indeed were not generous for some. One can easily pick up any history book and see how family differences, along with religious beliefs, often played an important part in life. Even though many face challenges today, I believe the time period Rob Costelloe expressly speaks of was harder on some people. I think this book has a way of connecting with each individual differently showing the real matter of the heart.
