Book excerpt: Concert pianist Evan finally receives his big break. He's on tour playing his passion and getting paid well to do it, he's in love with a beautiful woman who just finished her own degree in nursing, and he's about to propose in extravagant style. Even though their relationship has been long distance, he plans to go home and start his new life with her. But then, the virus lockdown skews all his plans. Risé is working and living at a hospital with acutely ill patients. The precautions in place preclude any interaction with her family, with her friends, and with the man she is hoping will be her husband. How can he be, when no one knows how long this pandemic will last? Health protocols, full personal protection regalia, social distancing, and video-chatting aren't enough. How can their relationship hold when the world is falling apart? With wise words from those who love them, Evan and Risé find that being apart is hard, but with God, all things are possible.
