Blog | the eighth wonder. I just came back from a book signing event at the Kinzua State Park. I loved it. It was so great meeting people that also loved the Kinzua Bridge and those who were also saddened to see it fall. I found myself talking to people more about Tom than I did Nicole. As I have posted before, Nicole was loosely based on my own life. Writing about Tom reminded me of many men that I met in life, middle-aged, content in their lives and marriages yet longing for something more. Tom was not looking to have an affair. Playing underneath all of this, Tom is middle-aged, and while he is content in his marriage, he feels less attractive then he once was.
Tom also represents what it is like to fall in love at an older age. I am reminded of the quote from The Velveteen Rabit about becoming REAL. “What is REAL?” “Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “Does it hurt?” “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse.
