Cover & Excerpt
by Avery K. Tingle

Jon and Maria Maldonado have never had much, but they’ve had each other. Their thirty years together has resulted in their own home and business, and they had come to believe that they’d endured everything a couple could go through. Then, one of them is stricken with an illness that quickly becomes terminal.
Faced with the inevitable loss of a partner, a radical suggestion is proposed. This suggestion proves so controversial it overshadows every challenge they’ve encountered and threatens to destroy all they have worked so hard to attain.
The Anniversary is a story about the arduous journey to happy endings, and the sacrifices we all make for the ones we love. Sometimes, it is only after the most horrible of events that true happiness is found.
