The Story of Josette and Daniel: Trilogy by Dr. Katherine E.A. Korkidis follows the beautiful love story of Josette and Daniel Ellington, their prestigious careers, the family they have, the family they build, and their commitment to social welfare and community service. The loss of their daughter Nicole is a heartbreaking time, but the couple holds fast and tight to their unwavering support for their children—Katherine, Christopher, Edward, and Cassandra—in their diverse pursuits: Christopher's passion for acting and eventual commitment to the priesthood, Katherine's musical talents and international marriage, Edward's prowess in mathematics and finance, and Cassandra's early advocacy and later contributions to criminal justice and engineering. A vow renewal, European adventures, and encounters with Daniel's past love cross over with domestic and professional pursuits and, ultimately, retirement. As a whole, the trilogy leans heavily toward the transformative power of family, faith, and love and the enduring impact of shared values across generations.

Part epic love story, part worldwide travelogue, The Story of Josette and Daniel: Trilogy by Dr. Katherine E.A. Korkidis is a sweeping saga that collects both huge and seemingly small moments into a mega-arc that is the Ellington Family. One of the more touching moments in the book occurs when David, whom Josette and Daniel adopted, flies to Brussels to be Daniel's best man. That entire trip is extensively cataloged, and, like the rest of the Ellington's globetrotting adventures, Korkidis depicts the sights, sounds, smells, and delights in near cinematic detail. I loved the portrayal of Europe, but it was the sojourn in Hawaii written through travel journals that really touched my heart. There is something to be said about the type of love that lasts an eternity. Readers who adore stories of imperfectly perfect love and a life with some deep lows but so many more highs will love this book. The writing is clean and straightforward, and the pacing is intentionally slow as Korkidis focuses on the minutiae of Josette and Daniel's lives, which makes it fully engrossing. Overall, this is a thoughtful and lovely story, and I adored every moment spent in it.

I do know what to say that can properly express my gratitude for this review by K.C. Flinn. I highly appreciate the commitment of K.C. Flinn to understanding the complexities of my story and characters. I enjoyed each and every sentence written, particularly, "portraying love not as a fleeting emotion but as a timeless echo that carries us through the years".
With all its difficulties at times, love is worth the effort. This was the message I was hoping to express to my reader. Josette and Daniel have a lifelong love that endured both challenges and the passing of time. K.C. Flinn clearly understood my message and expressed it not only professionally but elegantly as well. Thank you K.C. Flinn so much for recommending my book and for this wonderful review which I am thrilled to call my favorite review.
