In Quests for Love, Roger Juchau’s poignant debut novella, two single women, Bonnie and Stella, navigate the complexities of middle age and the unexpected joys of companionship. Drawn together by a shared passion for gardening, they cultivate not only a vibrant gardening interest but also a deep and enduring love. As Bonnie and Stella build a new life, their adult children, Jason and Clare, embark on their own romantic journeys-journeys that, like their mothers’, are marked by both heartache and resilience.
When infidelity, dishonesty, and deceit uproot their relationships, all four characters confront the frailty and strength within the human desire for connection. Yet setbacks prove temporary, and with unwavering faith in love, each one finds the courage to seek out lasting bonds. A tender exploration of intimacy and belonging, Quests for Love is a testament to the enduring pursuit of companionship and the soulful richness of shared lives.
