About this audiobook

A WIDOWER'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE. A WOMAN'S UNANSWERED QUESTION ABOUT ETERNITY.

I thought about our future, and for the second time that day, I envisioned a long, happy life together. But when my thoughts turned to the eternities, things got blurry. Could I move forward without all the answers?

You don't have to do this, I reminded myself. You can marry someone else. Someone who doesn't have a wife in the next life.

***

When Julianna Taylor goes on a first date with Abel Keogh, she's stunned to learn he's a twenty-seven-year-old widower. As they fall in love, Julianna finds herself facing a question her faith can't fully answer: What happens in eternity when the man you love has already promised forever to someone else?

The Wife in the Next Life is Julianna and Abel's raw, alternating true account of falling in love and building a relationship without the answers most couples take for granted. Told with the same unflinching honesty that made Room for Two a lifeline for thousands of readers, it's the story of two people choosing to move forward—into love, into marriage, into an unknowable next life—before they have any of the answers.

At some point, we all face questions with no easy answers. How we choose to move forward in spite of them can define the rest of our lives.
