Vince Glasser, an overworked federal agent and single father with a troubled past, already has enough on his plate when he is diagnosed with terminal cancer. He deals with it the only way he knows how–by fighting the illness with everything he has in him. Along his path toward a certain end, he mends relations with his estranged younger brother, reexamines his faith that has lost its place in his life, prepares his son to live life without his parents, and finally finds room for romance with his longtime partner, Angela Hawkins.
Angela, a caring but headstrong woman and one of Vince’s best friends, finds herself falling in love not only with her partner, but also with his young son, Charlie. In caring for both of them, she sees that despite decades-old mistakes that have left her in a pattern of empty relationships, she can still find redemption and have the family she’s always wanted, even if only for a short time. But a nagging feeling tells her that death isn’t the only thing that threatens to tear her new way of life from her grasp. How far will she go to keep her family as intact as she can?
Amidst the struggles of a family with an expiration date, between the medicine and the meltdowns, Angela and Vince find God just in time and learn the true meaning of grace and the power of prayer.

This book is a special one. It’s about love and pain, joy and sorrow. It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking. It’s about so much more that I don’t even have the words for it.
This is about a love and marriage to a man Angela knows is dying with cancer. It’s about also falling in love with his young son.
This is a must read if you know someone who’s been diagnosid with pancreatic cancer. It’s a must read if you just want to read one of the most touching love stories ever.
Be aware that you’ll need a box of tissues handy. I used nearly an entire box, and the tears haven’t stopped yet.

Christian author C. M. Newman lives in Michigan. Despite expensive car insurance, she plans to keep it that way. She enjoys writing (obviously), napping, and watching TV shows marathon-style on Netflix. She is host to a myriad of pathetic diseases that make organizing pills a challenge. She loves photography, so she bought a fancy camera and dusts it off once every three months, naturally.
