By Joyce Sorensen
Sixteen-year-olds Dick and Joyce fall in love and marry at nineteen despite having families who hold opposing views on every conceivable subject and a mother determined to thwart them.
A few months later, Dick is drafted and shipped to Korea. Joyce and their newborn daughter are forced to live with her manipulative mother.
In letters from overseas, Dick describes the sometimes-bizarre events around him and writes poetically of his passion for Joyce. When Dick returns, they discover time has changed them in subtle ways, but they rekindle their devotion and begin life as a family.
Decades later, Alzheimer's attacks Dick, leaving Joyce floundering, alone. In spite of this, the two manage to recover and surpass the commitment and love of their youth.
In an exquisite paean to love, Joyce Sorensen reveals the intimate relationship of a couple who overcame numerous threats to their lifelong devotion. Her poignant words escort the reader through emotions that linger long after the book is closed.
