Book Blurb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Jacob Halverson wakes up in the hospital, he doesn\u2019t know where he is. Worse yet, he doesn\u2019t know who he is\u2014or the woman claiming to be his wife of forty-two years. But when she\u2019s at his side, he feels like everything will be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arlene Halverson never imagined her husband could forget her. Now she is tasked with filling in the blanks of an entire lifetime for Jacob, reminding him of their life together, the family they built, and the love they share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of old love letters, Arlene journeys through time at Jacob\u2019s bedside, visiting memories both painful and poignant. Together, they search for the reason Jacob hid his illness from her while Arlene finds the courage to share her greatest mistake in hopes Jacob can forgive her a second time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Jacob choose to trust God with an uncertain future? And can Arlene trust Jacob with the past\u2014again?
