More DescriptionA brutally honest memoir about Barbara and Gil, born into worlds as separate as Romeo and Juliet. But after they met and fell in love, they married against all odds. Their twenty five year journey led them from the glittery, glamorous publishing and theater worlds of New York City to a prison called the House of Pain. Just when they had overcome every adversity they thought imaginable, Gil was diagnosed with liver cancer and given three months to live if he didn't get a transplant.

This true story is filled with love and marriage, pain and terror and illuminates the redemption that Gil and Barbara found. This is a story of self-reliance, perseverance and hope.
