I have always loved creative writing. In writing the book, I wanted to share that in any marriage, there are difficult times that make us want to walk away from the relationship. Through commitment and value of the relationship, God can bring us back together, the relationship being stronger than ever. I also wanted for people to realize the devastating effect of a pregnancy loss to a relationship and to the individuals affected. Each person handles this in their own way, some of which is not in a healthy manner. Sometimes well meaning comments such as "you will have other children" only deepens the hurt.

Allison is a petite young woman who has experienced lots of love and loss in her brief lifetime. After her husband was killed in Afghanistan, she never thought about remarrying. After all, they had been best friends since the age of four.

She floundered around for a few years after his death prior to becoming the companion to a feisty and lovely older woman, Aunt Jayne. Jayne’s nephew, Jim, and Allison meet; and their relationship grows into a good friendship.

After Jayne’s death, things change dramatically; and through many trials and devastating experiences, Allison and Jim experience the redemptive power of love.
