Faithfully Devoted, JacobWhen Jacob Halverson wakes up in the hospital, he doesn’t know where he is. Worse yet, he doesn’t know who he is—or the woman claiming to be his wife of forty-two years. But when she’s at his side, he feels like everything will be okay.

With the help of old love letters, Arlene journeys through time at Jacob’s bedside, visiting memories both painful and poignant.
