An Editors Summary

After his girlfriend of four yearswhom he thought was the onebroke up with him for no apparent reason, Lancelot, a shoe-shiner at JFKs Terminal 5, goes on a mission to find out why their relationship failed.
Every customer that visits his stand in this highly trafficked terminal of the airport is bait for the author and his questions about marriage, love, and relationships.
Over 6 months, he gathers as much information as he can from people of diverse backgrounds to understand what makes marriages and other relationships last and what makes them fail.
Each person serves as a key component in solving Lancelots personal puzzle, as he tries to put together the pieces and formulate his own conclusions about relationships.

Author

J. L. Adams

Leaving a place I called home for over 21 years was not only hard but also dramatic for me and my family. In 2008, when I got the news that I was going to be migrating to the USA to start a new life, I felt a fervent feeling flowing through my body, a feeling of accomplishment, a feeling of, “Yes, I’m finally getting into, but just the little that my dad had told me, and what I had seen on the television. I’m not going to lie, when I arrived in 2008, it was very different from what I had seen all my life on TV. It was more challenging. But I wasn’t afraid to move forward, and do whatever I had to do to make it in America, although I did arrived when the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression was taking place. I think coming to America at that particular time, has made me work harder and become more passionate to be successful than I was previously. There were a lot of ups and downs, disappointments, failures, broken hearts, laughs and tears. But I’m still grateful that America is still land of opportunities.
