| Danielle Maxwell wants joy in her marriage; unfortunately her husband doesn't seem to care. His best friend not only accompanies him on his business trips but also shares much of his time, leaving Danielle alone. When she meets Gregorio things shift in her life. They slowly are drawn together, as a new world opens bringing ultimate joy.
Gregorio Gaudixinu lost his wife in the war. When he enlists Danielle's help as his decorator, he never imagined love would blossom. She is everything he wishes in a woman and his heart tells him to hold on tightly. Danielle never meant to fall in love with Gregorio. She didn't go looking for anyone. Gregorio knew the pain of heartache. The two meet and form a friendship that leads to a slow sensual understanding between two people that grows into real love. I Imagine Walking is a lovely story of a woman's courage to emerge out of her shell and find that one joy that will make her blissfully happy. Ms. Mueller paints a portrait of a lonely woman who feels she is trapped in a marriage slowly dying. A woman who has entered a junction in her life and after careful evaluation finds the happiness she has long missed, with a new starting point in life that actually breathes life again. This story is a remarkable read. Not many women are given the chance to find real love but once the brass ring carrousels, one should grab and never let go. Ms. Mueller paints a lovely setting that can actually be felt. She makes her characters true to form as if they lift right off the page with their emotions. Ms. Mueller's flare of writing is truly captivating.
