The prose traces the course of their marriage, careers, family, travels and ultimately Betsy's illness and death from cancer.

It inspires and teaches by the example of their resolve to challenge conventional wisdom and respond uniquely to many of the difficulties we all will face with maturity and aging.

By turning despair to hope and revisioning problems as opportunities, Robert and Betsy applied these lessons of success to find solutions as gifts of love.
