Wendy Green loves her husband — and almost never hates him — even after their decades-long marriage. She and Charles had met on a wintry day at a North Dallas gym. Charles feels instant surges of chemistry. Wendy needs a bit more convincing. But their attraction grows and deepens, and within a year they marry. Little do they know what awaits them. Dann Darwin delivers an intimate exploration of a relatable couple as life takes them from Texas to North Dakota and to Nevada throughout their 40-year relationship. Far from typical pulp fiction romances, Darwin depicts imperfect, relatable characters who make mistakes — lots of them, in fact — while navigating the inherent uncertainty of modern-day relationships. Darwin worked in the newspaper industry in Michigan, Texas, Utah and Nevada for nearly 40 years, where he won numerous awards, before turning to fiction and longer narratives.
