It is a novel about a troubled married couple, C.J. and Leeta, who live in small town in the mountains of Western North Carolina. They fell in love for all the right reasons, but the "living" got in the way of their loving. The story is driven by C.J. and his inner thoughts. The reader joins the couple in their journey as they commit to marriage therapy in their challenge to revitalize and heal their marriage to keep their well-intended oath to each other, "Till death do us part." If the couple has the "energy of the heart," the primary ingredient needed to work through any troubled relationship, marriage counseling will be successful, thereby keeping the marriage in the couple's hands instead of a lawyer's.
