Hope, love, and loss meld two polar opposite personalities. How long after the wedding can they keep passion for their ministry and each other? Medical missionary and avowed bachelor Merit Campbell is wounded during a skirmish at his Mideast clinic and sent home to recover. Restlessness propels him to explore the happier moments of his childhood in Illinois where he meets Amalia Kennedy, owner of The Last Detail. Amalia enjoys helping people prepare for their final years. They say opposites attract, and Merit and Amalia are proof-positive. Merit ushers in new life; Amalia ushers it out. Love? Obviously. Marriage? Check. Dealing with the family closet? Step back... As the two grow closer they weather constant interruptions from ministry, business, and family, even at their wedding and beyond. When tragedy strikes, they must learn to rely on each other in ways they couldn't have prepared for.
