Book Titled “Love Poems and Obsession”
Sensational Intimate Writings for Romantic and Those Interested in True Life Story
Chicago, US, June 2018: Cheryl Krkoč, a renowned writer and social worker is
thrilled to announce the release of her second book “Love and Poems Obsession.” It
is a captivating tale that revolves around the life of her parents who lived a romantic
life throughout their lifetime. Shortly after the death of her parents, Cheryl was
looking for photos for her “memoir sentiment” in one of the many photo albums
in her brother’s safekeeping when she discovered one album which contained fifty
years worth of poems her dad had written to her mother. She scoured through them
and learned more than she could have imagined about her parents complicated,
tempestuous and spiritual relationship. “Love Poems and Obsessed” provides young
and old as well as the teens with the tools they need to strengthen their love life and
be more romantic with their partners.
Love is the most complex set of powerful emotions a human being can experience,
associated with strong feelings of affection, warmth, protectiveness, and respect
for another person. Cheryl, who has previously written a book titled “Memoir
Sentiment”, got her inspiration to write this new book from her parent’s heroic love
life, and also includes her own impressions and family history related to this poem
as well as photos taken around the time of her parents’ marriage and her dad’s
original hand written poems. Her father’s first language was Slovenian- the language
of love. She would like to share these intimate writings with anyone who is
romantic, or just interested in a true life story.
Book Titled “Sentiments”
This book traces the roots of our family coming to America. My paternal
grandparents and other relatives came from Slovenia to North America, but other

family immigrated to Argentina after immigration standards became more
restrictive in the United States. And this is our story...
Sentiment is a memoir about the author’s life growing up with her immigrant
grandparents, an eccentric and passionate father, a fragile mother, and other
extended family in the Chicago area in the 1950s. Later on, her father moved across
country to Oregon, leaving his extended family behind. The author’s sensual
experiences helped form a framework for understanding her world and navigating
through life. This leads to her search for knowledge about her cultural heritage and
family history, including travels to her family’s homeland. Her impressions and
experiences lead to a focus on personal and family strengths, flaws, losses, and
trauma. Each decade of the author’s life has a distinctive character, and the end of
each decade marks the beginning of a shift in her focus and outlook.
