"Grandma, how did you and Gramps meet?" The innocent question got Louise Jenkins thinking...and writing. But she couldn't tell her family's story without bringing up some painful memories. Would the raw truth jeopardize hers and Oscar's newfound serenity? Oscar "OC" Jenkins has a lot to live down. Marietta, Montana's notorious "Fish Whisperer" had chapters of his life he'd like to forget, but he knows his wife of nearly forty years and he knows it's time to set the record straight. When their newly enlarged family gathers to celebrate Christmas, Louise and OC share that gift most precious of all...the truth. Unvarnished. Some good. Some bad. A real life love story of two survivors who gave each other gifts beyond price and stayed together because love makes all things possible.
