The StoryA tumultuous process of dealing with a devastating disease is the impetus for this couple to learn to live one day at a time. Avoiding the thoughts of how the future will unfold, the heroine buries her fears in chores as surges of adrenaline ravage her heart. Sleeplessness accompanies her nights, and exhaustion fills her days. The hero struggles to maintain his dignity, as he refuses to accept any change in his life and death story. The system further complicates the journey as hospice policies conflict with decency, leaving them to feel unsafe and forced to deal with incompetence. Eyes tear as they refuse to succumb to the temptation of turning away from God. In spite of this traumatic roller coaster ride, they hang onto the unraveling threads of life through heartaches, tugs of war and, yes, even laughter. The story gives hope to anyone who encounters a difficult situation that cannot be avoided. In addition, helpful coping techniques and pertinent Bible verses are offered in the appendixes. Carolee has illustrated and handcrafted her children's books to cross all age brackets and offer the unique concept of an Adult Fairy Tale. Whether read alone or to a child, the illustrations will bring delight with a smile and a giggle to both young and old alike, offering the opportunity to share simple values that have been forgotten with the passage of time.
