Introduction

At eighty, Rhetta Sweeney was living with her sister, doing what was expected of a woman her age. But on a chilly fall afternoon after taking her sister to a tag sale, a tragic event changed her entire life.

Her past, present and future collide in the flash of a second.

Rhetta was not always eighty, and her heart, while slumbering for many years, would prove that love is eternal, forgiving and patient.

This tale makes us all rethink the narrative of our own lives and what really matters in this life - and in the hereafter. Love sees no age, no color, no time. It's there, if we just embrace it.
