This is a story of unconditional love. Widowed poet Barry Johnson details how he met Beverly, the love of his life.

They couldn’t have kids but had the courage, when most couples balk, to adopt Megan, a beautiful young girl who for years was stuck in Kentucky’s foster-child system. All Megan ever wanted was a Mom.

Tragically, Beverly dies. Megan is nineteen, and Barry must forge ahead as a newly minted widower and single Dad.

But there’s a cruel twist because Barry will die too, unless this one thing happens.
