Until Death

Fresh out of high school and newly married Tara McAdams just found out that she and her U.S. soldier husband, Marshall McAdams, are about to have a baby. Marshall is away on a training exercise, but she knows that he’ll be just as thrilled. This is the best thing that could ever happen to the pair, besides their wedding, of course. At least, it was supposed to be. Marshall comes home to find the love of his life cold and lifeless in their bed. The doctors used words like “ectopic pregnancy” and “internal bleeding”. Marshall descends into a depression that is destroying his life. “Move on,” everyone lovingly counsels. But how can he when he swears he’s getting signs from Tara on the other side? Tara isn’t gone—well, not completely—and both Tara and Marshall want another shot at their marriage—to have a normal life. Try as they might things are different, and the increasing changes in Tara aren’t going unnoticed by either of them. Can they get their relationship to work? Or will Tara and their bond take a turn for the worst?
