Many of us like a good romance novel, but what happens beyond the happy ending? What happens when the newness of love wears off and 20 or 30 years have passed? What happens when life gets so busy that we start to take each other for granted? What happens when the pressures of children, work, disease, and bills wear us down? How do our marriages and friendships change over the years? Who stays and who goes? This is what this novel deals with.
