The Sky's Blue Eyes: Barefoot Heart Love Stories series

By Chava Epstein

The Sky's Blue Eyes is a story of yearning and longing of a woman to her beloved.
The heroine and her children are on their way to a spring. The spring is a metaphor for her hidden love story. In the center of the story there is a description of the sore heroine's anticipation to meet her beloved. Will she meet him?
The story gives the reader a strong sense of looking from deep inside the soul to its peak. It touches the feeling of pain coincided with the happiness of a woman who knows what love is. Her personal emotions become coherent with universal feelings beyond time and space.
The story is told in a poetic – lyrical language, leading the reader into a unique world of images and metaphors which intertwines hidden threads of hope and sobriety.
If you  connect with  Noa's character and her way to love and  think, you would certainly love my other books published on Amazon.  You can find their descriptions and their links at the end of this story.

The Sky's Blue Eyes represents the image of Noa, the heroine of some of my short stories, and all of my romance books, describing the vicissitudes of her fate throughout life. Noa is my alter ego and her world manifests in the first person. It is a world that underlies the realistic life of an Israeli woman, and takes off into the depths of emotion, idea and desire of the soul and to its reflections in dreams and imagination.

If you connect with Noa's character and her way to love and think, you would certainly love my other books published on Amazon.  You can find their descriptions and their links at the end of this story.

My herd of kids raced ahead, downhill.

Slower! I shouted at them.

Stop worrying, Rom replied, We'll wait for you down near the carob tree.

My feet find no rest, going, marching. With all my heart I wish to believe – if I walk further – I'll get closer to tomorrow, closer to ten o'clock. My hands already ache to be there. Why did I heed Rom’s request to walk to the spring? I do not know what
