Dr. Jack Morgan was always a strong force to be reckoned
with. It was what had both attracted and repelled his
wife, Anne. A doctor's daughter herself, she had seen at
first hand how much the constant search for improvements in
medicine had diminished both her mother's and her own life
as a girl growing up.
As Jack Morgan's professional life and stature grew with
its related commitments that took him away from his family,
Anne began to withdraw from him. They divorced amicably
and continued to share a strong love for their Katie, their
daughter who was born late in their married life, while
further distancing themselves from each other.
When Anne hears the news that Jack had a stroke and was
paralyzed, she is shocked and concerned for him, but
worried that this event would upset the careful world she
had so recently created for herself. While hesitant to
bring her ex back into her home, her mother, Delia, forces
her to realize that if Jack has to do the recovery on his
own with only hired help, he just won't will himself to
make the effort as he is so depressed by the thought of
not being able to operate again.
As Anne helps Jack to re-connect with his physical self,
she has to face her own childhood fears. Ca she give him
what he needs? And if she succeeds, will she only lose him
to what he loves the most?
Kristi Gold has created a masterful work in this new
Everlasting Love series as she slowly uncovers the solid
gold ring holding people together beneath the wear and tear
and tarnish of 20 years of marriage. While realistically
describing the painful journey that families have to face
after a stroke, she skilfully intertwines the changing
feelings that caregivers and family members face in dealing
with the aftermath of a serious illness and an uncertain
outcome. This is a great story that you will relish and
not want to put down as you want to find out how Anne and
Jack and Delia fare as they face their new realities.
When a marriage of twenty years ends, is there any going
back? Can you regain what's been lost? For heart surgeon
Jack Morgan the answer is yes.
Paralyzed by a stroke, he has no choice but to turn to his
ex-wife, Anne—just as if they were still married. During
the months that follow, they discover that the memories of
their marriage have an unexpected power to bring
forgiveness—and the return of a love that never really
left.
