A Twenty-Year Difference
Is a twenty-year age difference too much in a relationship? Kendrick Brown asks his grandfather Dwayne Brown what his biggest regret in life is. But in order for Kendrick to understand what Dwayne’s biggest regret is, he first has to tell him a story, a love story. It’s a sweet little love story, but there was also one big problem. The woman whom Dwayne had a relationship with in his story, was twenty years older than him! And back in nineteen fifty-eight, people did not really like the idea of that at all, including Dwayne’s father. But did the twenty-year age difference in his relationship have something to do with his biggest regret? Or is it something else?

I’m confused
It was a really good story. There are many typos but not so bad that it’s unreadable. The story is VERY entertaining and despite its jumping huge spaces in time, it still provides enough detail to keep you involved and the original question is one that draws you in to keep you looking and watching for the answers. However, the last bit left me totally confused. Did he stay, or didn’t he? What was Dwayne’s big regret? In the whole of his life, he didn’t have many, if he did have one.

Emotional
It was different and so sad. It was a lifetime of regrets. It impacted so many lives. You have to read the story to get the full emotional impact. I won’t summarize the story because it will ruin the impact of the story. I highly recommend this book. It is an emotional roller coaster

Review:
"A Twenty-Year Difference" by Stan Hendriks
My Rationalization:
I found this a very interesting read in that it was somewhat happy but also sad. What will Dwayne Brown tell his grandson Kendrick about his greatest regret of his life? As we read about the story that Dwayne tells, the story is a sweet love tale of him being twenty years younger than the women. At this time in 1958 to have a woman being older than the man was greatly frond on, as it was for Dwayne's father. As Dwayne tells the story he sorta left the story hanging at the end to whether he stayed married or not. I find at the end we are left with wanting to know just what was Dwayne's biggest regret? Was it the fact that Kendrick didn't ask the question to his grandfather or what? This greatly presented quite a twist to the story.
Now this leaves me just to say you will have to pick up "A Twenty-Year Difference" to see for yourself just how well this author brings this story out. And you will be able to see if you thought that Dwayne really had any regrets in the end.
