“The Torch Bearer’s Exorcism” by Linda Luisa Varela Tychsen unravels some inevitable truth about love and sex

While most love stories depict a mutual feeling between two lovers, The Torch Bearer’s Exorcism by Linda Luisa Varela Tychsen begs to go a different path. The book illustrates bittersweet circumstances related to love affairs in the real world.

This story starts at the close of the 1980s. It follows the story of Cherie, an unusually private and guarded girl with a nonconforming sense of style and a habit of constantly doubting everything around her.

When she meets David during her first week on campus her emotions go into overdrive. He’s exactly what she would have asked for if it were possible to wish people into existence. They seem to be two sides of a coin.

David is an outgoing, attractive and popular guy with rather a lot more experience in the world than ingénue Cherie. Swept up by passion, subterfuge, confusion and magnetism; Cherie must untangle what she feels and whether she can believe his love for her is real.

Through this book, Tychsen provides insights into the deeper core of real love. The author also offers advices on how to guard one’s heart.
