This is a unique book in that it alternates chapters about the couple's courtship and the end of the couple's marriage. I know it doesn't sound like it... but it really works. This was a can't put it down book for me. I read the entire thing in 3 days. I loved reading about the beginning of the couple's relationship, while simultaneously learning about their life together later on. This was in in depth look at a REAL marriage... how they were able to deal with some really difficult things and still end with a happy marriage. I really really loved it.

a beautifully written story which rings with truth.
