The book: “With All My Heart” (Xlibris, $15.99).
The author: Eric Royster of Hallam is 20 years old and has lived in York County for 11 years. He attended Scotland School for Veteran’s Children.
What it’s about: A young man named Robert Zandefer seems to have everything in order with his life as far as school and his looks are concerned. However, he has a hollow personality and the only thing that can seem to fill the void is something he doesn’t trust or understand — women.
Excerpt: “Rob began to feel heavier and he stopped walking. I could hear the ambulance sirens in the distance. I stood Rob straight up and I looked at his face. His eyes began to roll back in his head and they began to close. A wave of panic came over me. My best friend since high school was going to die right in front of me.”
To buy: Borders Books & Music, 3000 Whiteford Road, Springettsbury Township, and Hearts & Minds bookstore, 234 E. Main St., Dallastown.


I just watched in YouTube the movie ending credits to 'With all my Heart'. How can I get a copy of the book? Erik, I like the way you're doing it. Hey, I don't know if you subscribe to the creed that things don't just happen. Maybe our paths crossed for a reason. Maybe we're cooperators and abettors to reaching our own individual 'personal legends.' Erik, please, go to my blog at www.100000plusayear.com. I'm highly interested in your thoughts.
