When I started this book I was some what leery of its potential. It starts off slow and you can't figure out what has happened. But as each character, Brant and Holly, tell their story you start to understand.
They have loved each other for a lifetime it seems. And even in the darkest hours they have been there for each other, that is until a storm comes that they never excepted. Sometimes in a marriage you need more than the love of your spouse. You need their trust and faith that as a couple you can lean on each other. And when that is broken sometimes it can't be repaired no matter how much you love the other person.
Almost two years into their divorce, their friends try to help Holly and Brant find their way back to one another. The love they had for each other is there, stronger than ever but can they forgive each other is the true test.
