Chapter 1: The Promise She Made Me Keep

My dying wife asked me to find my first love as her final wish — when I learned why, my knees nearly gave out.

My wife, Carol, and I had been married for thirty-six years when the doctor told us that her cancer had already spread and there was nothing more they could do.

During the final week of her life, I barely left her bedside at the hospital.

One evening, she squeezed my hand and whispered:

“You have to promise me something.”

I looked at her with tears in my eyes and said:

“Anything, my love.”

Then Carol sighed and said:

“Find Anna, please.

You’ll understand everything once you find her.
