Dimapur, Dec. 15 (EMN): ‘True Love Keeps Moving: A collection of prose and poetry,’ is book by 27-year old Wedekhro Naro, who currently works with Four Seasons in Kuwait. The book was released on Saturday by Colo Mero, director of Life Ministries, at Hotel Ura in Kohima.
Releasing the book, Mero remarked that he and the author were alike in that they were ‘both fearless, ruthless, and shameless.’
“We tell our stories shamelessly. I do it from the pulpit, and we hear less or him speaking but he writes openly and frankly,” he said. Asserting that the society was one where conversations about, for instance sex, are considered taboo and shameful. However, he said, ‘But we also come from a society where beheading and bedding beautiful women were honoured and respected and were rewarded.’
Saying that the people live in a society where everything about relationship is reserved, Mero expressed hope that the author inspires many people ‘to share about their relationships.’ He noted that ‘boy-girl relationships’ are ‘destroying many lives today and many parents feel it is too early to talk about relationships with teenagers.’ Nonetheless, he said, it is better to save them than to repair.
“I hope this book will inspire many people about relationships because it is so brutally honest,” he added. In her publisher’s note, Vishü Rita Krocha said every book has a life of its own. True Love Keeps Moving likewise, comes across as funny and entertaining; a book that is honest and is essentially filled with the ‘emotion of love.’ The book, she said, is partly fiction but ‘it is real in so many ways…’ as a lot of what the author personally felt and experienced must have gone into making the book.
