Desoto Author, R. Jay Berry, Weaves Powerful Story in New Novel

Author R. Jay Berry crafts a poignant, thoughtful, and reflective read in her dreamy and romantic book in her fourth novel, “Forever Love.” In “Forever Love,” the author illustrates that true love makes one feel and act in certain ways that cannot be explained. Through this captivating story of two people, Berry pens a couple’s heartrending love story based on actual events that lasted throughout their lives and sheds lights on real and true love that has the power to overshadow all forces that work against it.

According to the author, her inspiration for writing “Forever Love” was wholly based on witnessing the love between her parents who have been married for over 60 years and still smile at each other when the other one walks in the room. “I believe that after reading “Forever Love” readers will remember their first true love and the impact it had or still has on their lives. It makes them feel and act in certain ways that cannot be explained,” stated Berry.

R. Jay Berry is also the acclaimed best-selling author of the “Sunday Rose” trilogy, which chronicles the story of her maternal grandmother. All four of her books carry the themes of faith, family, and friendship, and are all historical fiction based on real occasions.

Berry received her formal education from Ursuline Academy, Texas Woman’s University and Amber University, respectively. She is a retired educator from the Dallas Independent School District after 30 years of service where she was the Executive Director of the Academic Services Department. She has been married to her husband Bernard for 38 years and they have one son Stephen, daughter-in-law Jewel, and a German Shepherd named Strawberry Sundae.
