Love At First Sight - Part Two: The Other Side
A journey inside the deep-thinking, dark realms of a subconscious mind where the real and fantasy worlds are one. For those who didn’t meet Jeannette, the fictional character who came to life as she passionately narrated her long-term, emotionally-charged, almost virtual love affair in Love at First Sight: A One-Sided Story; she reappears in The Other Side more determined than ever to conquer the obstacles and emerge victorious in her quest to find peace, love and contentment in a Universe paralyzed by the constraints of control freaks who, at every opportunity, challenge her life lived “in a fictional world”. Overcoming this negativity becomes the driving force in her battle to achieve self-acceptance, often impeded by the haunting, human frailties of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and the inevitable path of self-destruction.

“JoAnn LaForte, you come from the old school family ilk, where everyone goes through the motions, does what they are supposed to do and is respected for doing so. However, somehow, some way, you were able to say, “F*ck that!” and wound up having a deep, artistic side, with a kind of ‘darkness’ that I just cannot put my finger on, but it’s cool. Although you were able to break free from the ‘mould,’ at the same time, you succeeded in raising your children well. I also believe you did not compromise any principles in your quest to be your own self. Honestly, I view you as a true, original feminist! While everyone else was screaming and marching, you simply chose instead to live your life the way you envisioned it, and although I know that can be particularly challenging, you freaking nailed it! Even if you feel you did not get the results you wanted, you paved your own way, and I admire you for it.” Erik Cody LaMarca Ridgewood, New York May 2019 First Editor: Darby Oehl Brooklyn, New York Assistant: Joshua A.
