About the book
After ten years of marriage, Geoff had walked out, and Marion still hadn't told anybody. But in three weeks, their separation would be a secret no longer. The news would turn her sister's wedding into a wake. It would also seriously undermine Eternity's future. There was only one answer, Geoff would move back to the house -- temporarily. But is she and Geoff were really finished, then why was she rejoicing over a three-week reprieve?
