Book excerpt: Birdie-- I fell in love when I was 16. I married him. I thought life was good. Now he's dying. Beck-- I married an addict. I didn't know it at the time. She hid it well. Now she could die. When Bernadette--Birdie--Chapman and Beck Griffin meet in grief counseling they have an instant connection. For Birdie, it's a comfort to share her feelings with someone who knows what she's going through. For Beck, it's an outlet, someone who understands his anger. But neither is prepared when they fall in love. And the guilt is almost too much to bear. Thursdays--a love story of two broken hearts that find each other...and try to become a whole... Warning--cliffhanger
