Funny you should say that because this could be the story of my parents' beginning! My father played guitar and my mother worked at the five-and-dime. Honest!!! He cheated and she forgave. Yes, they had their hard times, but they lasted 49 1/2 years until he died. I couldn't be more proud of them. THEY make MY generation of multiple-divorce people look like a bunch of snivelling whiners who foolishly believe marriage requires NO work. Thanks for posting! It made my day!

This woman writes and records the details of our small life ,,,she raises it up to level of universal understanding.

This is love and betrayal, a universal pain that we all know.

Nanci is a chronicler of our lives.

She is relevant, and also beautiful.
