The events of the 2004 tsunami play just a part of the book. Nemcova covers many life-changing aspects. Nemcova describes her childhood in the Czech Republic as a poor and humorless life. Her family and friends give her happiness. In 1989, the communist regime ends, and fashion, along with other products, pour into the Czech Republic. Nemcova finds herself interested in fashion and design. With her friend's prodding, Nemcova visits a local modeling agency. She soon juggles an unexpected modeling career and her schooling. When castings interfere with school, Nemcova quits modeling. After graduation, Nemcova meets photographer Simon Atlee. It may not be love at first sight; it seems more like friendship, respect, and excitement at first sight. Atlee is charming and gentle. His eyes shine the bluest color she has ever seen. Atlee and Nemcova date for eighteen months, in which they combine their personal lives within the hectic fashion industry. Nemcova recalls their last conversation about children, which was their silent sign of the next step of the relationship: marriage.

In Love Always, Petra, Nemcova shows that her strength comes from a variety of life struggles. My favorite parts describe the touching moments of her and Atlee's love. Her passion about Atlee made me feel like I knew them. A bittersweet moment comes when Nemcova recovered Atlee's cloth bracelet. I felt some of the phrasing and pacing of the stories gave the book the feel of a journal. Continuing to help tsunami victims, Nemcova is donating the book's proceeds to "Give2Asia/Happy Hearts Fund". To discover strength in losses, grab some tissues and read Love Always, Petra.
