I loved this book and read it in nearly one sitting. It spans the meeting and marriage of a young couple in Florida from the late 60s until the mid-90s and although it is fairly short, the author does a great job of letting you completely step into their lives. I highly recommend for anyone who likes books about women, men or families. The author also does such a great job with the setting that I felt like I really knew what it was like to live in Florida through these years.
