Joined before God and family out of a sense of responsibility? Or love?<br><br>As a teenager, Justine Morris's escape from the pressures of caring for her dying father was stolen moments with Joshua Samuels. But their tender, desperate liaison found them facing teen pregnancy. Afraid of their Christian families' responses to the situation, they married quickly and built a life for their child.<br>But now that their daughter is ready to fly the nest, Justine can no longer ignore the truth: She and Joshua haven't had a real marriage for a long time. Maybe they never had one at all.<br>Joshua is only too aware that his busy, professional attorney wife is an independent woman who never really needed him. After nearly two decades of marriage, he's quit trying to get more than a piece of her at a time. Without their daughter holding them together, he knows the chasm between them will grow to epic proportions.<br>Their empty nest looming, they face the hard questions. Had they married in love . . . or out of a hasty sense of responsibility? Was it God's will for them to be together? And now, is it worth the effort to learn to become one as the Lord intends for a man and a woman . . . or better to simply let go? <br><br>WRDF Top Read of Excellence!<br>1st Place winner in the contemporary romance category of the 2010 Love Romances & More Golden Rose Award!<br>5 Hearts Award - The Romance Studio<br>
