shortDescription
On the eve of their Silver Anniversary, Mary Gooch is waiting for her husband Jimmy — still every inch the handsome star athlete he was in high school — to come home.

And what she finds fills her with inner strength she's never felt before. Through it all, Mary not only finds kindred spirits, but reunites with a more intimate stranger no longer sequestered by fear and...
