This collection celebrates the poet's intimate relationship with her husband of almost 54 years. It traces their romance through courtship and marriage, through his long struggle with Parkinson's disease, and, after his death, through reflections on their life together.

Jean McCallion gave the introduction to this volume the title "The Gamble: The Courage To Love". This is a book for those who have taken that gamble and those who are wondering if they should.
