One Year with Dicky


Book Description

Dicky and Lizzie, despite being in their sixties and living alone for almost twenty years, become intertwined -- something which they both acknowledge as destined by God. Conservative Lizzie grew up in a household where sex wasnt mentioned in polite coversations, while modern Dickys outlook on the matter was the opposite. Every day, Dicky sends Lizzie text messages of sexual jokes, making their budding friendship turbulent. But after months, their daily text messages slowly chip away the rough edges of their relationship to sculpt a beautiful friendship in which each is unable to let a day pass without missing the other. Then a sudden event plunges Dicky into depression, and he shuts himself away. Will it be the end of Dicky and Lizzie?
