This is a tale that chronicles the love that exists between John and Marlena and demonstrates the strength and power of their emotional and spiritual bond even when all seems to be lost.  As it begins, John is preparing to go off with Stefano to find the cure for Roman's mysterious illness.

It will present a completely different story than we were given, where the only real threats to John and Hope come from the elements of nature themselves as well as their traveling companions.  Marlena stays in Salem to cope with taking care of Roman and trying to meet her children's needs.  At its apex it reveals hidden truths and explains some other mysteries for which there previously were no explanations.  I hope you enjoy the adventure and the love story that is at its heart.
