To Honor is a fantastic example of what can happen when a writer puts a bit of their soul on to paper. This story is told with an honesty that can be elusive in romance novellas. The characters are real, raw , flawed hurting, and just downright human. It's what makes the story. These are people you know and love in your own life. Their journey is painful to watch, and so easy to sympathize with.  Now I'm going to warn you ahead of time so you don't come back to me later, and say I didn't warn you. You may need a box of tissues, and some sensitive matters such as suicide are dealt with here.Evelyn is a woman whose been pushed to the edge and has taken the final leap off. When a myriad number of events pile up on top of her she makes the desperate decision to take her own life. Her failed attempt lands her in a psych ward, and opens her confused husbands' eyes. As she heals she has to over come the situations that stole not only her will to live but a part of her sanity.Derek is stunned when he's contacted because his wife has attempted to commit suicide after he tells her he wants a divorcee.  Clarification has come to late when he realizes separation from this incredible woman is the last thing he wants. Caught up in his emotional affair with his therapist he'd become convinced she was what was wrong in his life. He knows some mistakes can't be taken back, but he hopes like hell they can be overcome. With leave approved from his command he settled himself into the same facility as his wife and vows to be the man she fell in love with once more.Once they begin marriage counseling this couple is forced to examine themselves, where they went wrong, and if they can put the pieces back together.This is a beautiful read, you won't want to miss, and I highly recommend it to those looking for a little more substance.
