From the Author:
This is not your typical romance, but Barbara and Chris demanded their story be told. So often we tend to believe only in happily ever after, and while I am a fan of those stories, sometimes people need to grow up and change before they get there.
Barbara and Chris were right out of high school, when they got married. How many of us were totally mature and had it all together at that age? Yeah, not me for sure. So I wanted to show how a couple can mature and fight through the seven year itch (ten years in this case) and win.
This is not a depressing book on marriage troubles, this is a book on how people learn a deeper more trusting love. Try it, I think you'll like it!
