❄️This book was everything 😭😭

💙This sweet and tender book shares the story of Abe and Ruth Winter and their 70 year marriage to each other.

❄️The book starts in 2023 and then jumps around in the timeline of their relationship as far back as 1953. Throughout the 70 years, readers are shown the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of their relationship. We watch them meet, fall in love, raise a family, meet unimaginable hardships, and learn about themselves and each other along the way.

💙I lost count after a certain point of the number of times this book made me tear up. There’s nothing particularly extraordinary or unique about this couple, but I think that’s what made it so relatable to me. It was a portrayal of an ordinary love through the difficult course of life and choosing each other over and over again. That alone made it feel extraordinary to me.

❄️This is one that will stick with me for a long time. I’d highly recommend for readers of Tracey Lange!

🎧As far as the audiobook itself, the listening experience was 10/10! I think Kimberly was the perfect choice for this book. Her voice just suited the story so well!
