Imagine a love so powerful that it refuses to die

Anna travels between later years in search of her cherished book and the former years of youth, where her world as a baby drastically changes after the shock of her mother's early death. Anna suffers from abuse, which adds to the effects of an erratic heart, and lives with a rare genetic oral disease. Her mother leaves her in prayer with a request that Anna will have a life of love.

The Meeting

In 1938, Dan, an accomplished woodworker, sees Anna on a street corner in Greenwich, Connecticut, and he is powerfully drawn to her, despite the fact that she is many years his junior. He sees past Anna's shy exterior and dirty face and tattered clothes and is captivated by her beauty, despite the discoloration of her teeth.

The Bond

Their bond grows in secret while Dan loves her unconditionally, protecting her with his patience, kindness, and gentle nature until she is old enough for him to be introduced to her father. Their unique connection and faith deepen as they are separated during World War II, when Dan writes Anna the story of his love for her and the journey of their relationship.

The Cherished Book

The mere eighteen-page story referred to as The Cherished Book, which the author, Nancy A. Prieston, presents in its original format, is included within the novel. Faith, hope, and endurance encompass them as they journey through all the seasons of life.

Final Question

But will Anna find the book in time, before her final destiny?
