Since the night they eloped as teenagers over forty years ago, Spence and Lila have spent a lifetime together. Now Lila has been diagnosed with breast cancer and faces surgery. Spence visits her in the hospital, but the notion of losing his wife is sometimes more than he can bear. He retreats to his fields, to his dog, and to the garden Lila has tended so lovingly through the years.While the children rally to their mother and the neighbors stock the refrigerator, Spence and Lila each recall moments, spent together and apart, that have infused their shared life with subtle, unspoken meaning. Harmoniously, their strands of memory twine into a single narrative, revealing the humor, perseverance, and faith essential to turning two ordinary people into one enduring and happy union.

The title couple realizes that they are facing a dire threat to the peaceful, largely satisfying, life they have made together. The author strikes a balance between the themes of pop culture—represented by Spence's famous epiphany in the K-Mart parking lot—and higher values, including ecological consciousness, the use of heirloom seeds, and reaching across the racial divide. I found myself praying for Lila to pull through and stay with Spence for many years to come. ( )
