On April 27, 2001, at 5:50 am, cancer crashed into the near-perfect world of Ivan and Verna Acker. The doctor said the word cancer and nothing would ever be the same. It had always been a word for other people. Now it was a word for them. The diagnosis was advanced Stage IV non-small cell adenocarcinoma, lung cancer with brain metastasis. The prognosis was poor six to eight months was the expectation. The Ackers fought the cancer together. They loved and laughed. They cried and they prayed. Now perfect had a new meaning. At 76 years old, Ivan was the healthy and happy. As patriarch of a huge family of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, he had seemed to be invincible and timeless. He met the cancer head-on. If its going to get me, its going to have to work really hard! This memoir gives the reader direct access to the harrowing struggle the Ackers lived from the day cancer crashed into their lives. Walk with them, hand in hand, through eighteen months of their life. Its a long walk. Experience the highs and the lows, the joys and the sorrows. Learn with them. There is a lot to learn. The story goes beyond their physical and emotional battles. It shows the devotion of two people and the power that love and prayer can have over even the greatest odds. Walk with them. Learn with them. Its a long walk. There is no map.

Gingerly bending to gather the pieces he couldnt reach, he paused as an unusual pair of legs captured his attention. He hesitated to look up. One was real. One was not. ~ Fourth Down and Tomorrow to Go There is a force beyond us, a power unmoved by weapons, and a peace no army can destroy. We must surrender what we are for what we might become. ~ Spirit of the Ukraine No, not intentionally sometimes, were just out a control. We believe we have control, but we dont. And before despair strikes your spirit takes over ~ Snow Runner A distant memory, like radiation filling empty space, unseen, yet full of energy, forced its emergence into my subconscious. ~ On Tiny Wings Nobody knew we were here. We gazed in awe along the trail the physical history of our journey buried beneath the purest snow. ~ The Intruder He studied the smooth softness of her numbed left side. Creases recorded memories with each experience. Her intense awareness merged with another dimension of the wilderness hidden from him. ~ Home

Two women who, living one hundred years apart, face similar sacrifices to make the life they deserve in this perfectly moving debut novel. With the unexpected news of her pregnancy, Molly’s suddenly responsible husband Corey persuades her to leave her job as a sous chef in a bustling Washington, DC, restaurant and move to an old-fashioned, run-down house in small-town Pennsylvania. Stuck with a colicky newborn and a husband who loves the creaky steps, old décor, and even the broken tiles in the kitchen, Molly finds herself trapped in a life that only Corey wants—but is too busy working to enjoy. A century earlier, the same house was home to adventurous Tish, the middle daughter of the Hess family, who yearns to leave the family delicatessen behind to travel west and paint sweeping mountain landscapes. When Tish meets Ellis, a wanderer from California, their romance carries them through World War I, but cannot survive his return to civilian life and a train crash that claims the life of many aboard. Tied by tragedy to the delicatessen, Tish must forfeit everything for her family. After so much sacrifice, how can two women living a hundred years apart find happiness in the present, while living a life they would never choose for themselves?
