Book excerpt: In the 1970s, Telluride, Colorado was an extreme place populated by extreme people made crazier by each other. It was the last bastion of the Old West where living was fun and death was nigh. The writer became a different person-an obsessive, a cheater, a lover, a love addict, an imposter, and a phony guru, who some people believed was real. He was a man obsessed by two things: the reality of loving a high mountain town and the fantasy of loving a perfect woman. This one incredible place, the bona fide and provable Center of the Universe, is where one entrancing woman-child delivered love beyond reason, pain and anger, disappointment, guilt, and loss of control and the slow, undetectable descent into a private purgatory. What is truth? In love there is no fact and in war there is no fiction. In Telluride, there was neither.
