Author's Note

Defending Eve is wholeheartedly inspired with love by true events and is not meant as a self-help book. Rather it is a genuine and heartfelt story that leaves the reader with many valuable lessons intended to better all relationships. It is also unique because such a tender story has its source from the acrimony of a break up. Ironically, it is only through such a stormy environment that the light is able to shine through.

You’ll find a divorce lawyer’s secrets to keeping love, not ending it, wrapped in a new package—the fictional story of Adam, a young man coming of age and discovering the secrets of lasting relationships through his experiences with women. Adam shares the childhood experiences that shape his view of women and what they deserve in a relationship. Our leading man then candidly shares his struggles to press toward his goals of being successful in the world of work and relationships. Along the way his love stories carry you into the world of a man’s yearning for the romance he fears may only be found in romance books. You’ll feel with him the ecstasy and uncertainty of first love. You feel his frustration and resignation as it flounders, and then ends. You’ll share his search for his romantic ideal. You’ll see his best intentions misunderstood. You’ll discover as he did just how powerful an aphrodisiac the imagination can be. You’ll feel his frustration as he finds himself passionately in love, yet pushing the woman he loves away. Adam’s struggles become the canvas upon which Jaffe shares the secrets of lasting relationships.
