Despite having families who hold opposing views on every conceivable subject and a mother determined to thwart them, sixteen-year-olds Dick and Joyce fall in love and marry at nineteen.
Dick is drafted and shipped to Korea. Joyce and their newborn daughter are forced to live with her parents, in the hub of her earlier problems, which only intensify with the addition of the baby.
In his letters from overseas, Dick poetically writes of his longing for Joyce and describes the sometimes-bizarre events around him. When he returns, they discover the diverse, difficult environments they endured have changed them.
Decades later, Alzheimer's attacks Dick, creating an emotional separation which leaves Joyce adrift. Remarkably, a rare phenomenon enables them to recover and surpass the devotion and intimacy of their youth. Dick's lyrical expressions of love return during the last months of his life. Joyce shares some of their final conversations.
In an exquisite paean to love, Joyce Sorensen reveals the intimate relationship of a couple who overcome numerous threats to their lifelong devotion. Her poignant words escort the reader through emotions that linger long after the book is closed.
