Abe and Ruth are the epitome of "opposites attract" from the moment they met. She's a free spirit, he's a straitlaced company man, but somehow, they've stuck together for more than 70 years, through times good and bad, with three very different children. Just as they're getting ready to celebrate their 70th anniversary, Ruth discovers that the loose tooth she's dealing with is a sign of something much more malignant. Suddenly, Abe finds himself caring for the woman who has kept everything running smoothly through their whole marriage, while Ruth struggles with her new diagnosis and reliance on others.
This sort of serious family crisis book really wasn't my cup of tea, and honestly, I kept wondering how these two very different people ever got together and stayed together. However, I also know a few people who absolutely loved it, so your mileage may vary.
