Ellen Helpman "We don't have as much time as we think we do. These moments, these memories, they are fleeting."

"But the moments we have right now?....They don't wait for anyone."

Steven and Emma Jones are at a crossroads in their marriage.

Facing the pressures of raising small children, high pressure jobs, ailing family members, the tension and resentment builds between them, until neither one seems to know the other as a person anymore.

In the midst of all these demands, as well as counseling sessions in an effort to save their relationship, Steven suffers an attack by a mentally violent patient at the hospital where he works as a doctor.

Suddenly, the last 15 years of his life-his entire marriage-is completely erased.

Including most of the memories of his wife.

Can their marriage be salvaged?

Is this perhaps a second chance for both Steven and Emma to get things right between them?

Greyson Long is to be commended for such an emotionally intelligent, thoughtfully written story about two people desperately trying to find their way back to each other. Sharp dialogue, insightful commentary on the human condition, and two main characters who are BOTH flawed. I in turn wanted to root for and give a smack to Steven and Emma for their actions! Oftentimes stories like these have the reader gravitating towards one of them, but I had equal interest in both! Bravo, Ms. Long, it is no small feet to present the flaws and attributes of both equally!

If you enjoy love stories with plenty of yearning and slow burn romance, pick this one up today!
