Maureen had never experienced being deeply adored or the center of someone's world until she met Steve. Likewise, though Steve had been married before, he never truly understood love until Maureen came into his life. With her, he felt love for the first time.
Throughout the book, Maureen shares different stages of their relationship—the joys, the sacrifices, and the difficult choices between love and career. When Steve was diagnosed with terminal cancer, their world was turned upside down. The future of their relationship became uncertain, yet Maureen never wavered in her commitment to caring for him. What fate had in store for them remains to be discovered within these pages.
This memoir is a blend of love, heartache, and resilience. The author’s storytelling captures raw emotions, from joy to sorrow and fear. I especially appreciated the thoughtful title choice. If you enjoy memoirs, this is a must-read—it offers a profound look at the complexities of real life.
Thanks for reading.
