A Love Story of Impossible Bottles (Second Edition）is author Kathy Brown’s gift to her husband, Chris A. Brown, who tragically died in a skydiving accident on July 7, 2012, at the age of fifty-two. A special and unique person with many interests and talents, Chris was the master of the impossible bottles highlighted in this book and the original owner and founder of the website he developed for the art work. This book is based upon a beautiful concept: Impossible Bottles, all of which hold some special memory. According to the author, the bottles described in this book symbolize a person’s heart. We don’t easily let everything come in, but when someone or something is special and dear to us, it stays in our hearts like the memories captured in those bottles.
