This is a delightfully short memoir about surviving the first year of marriage, and doing it with joy. In this true story Derek and Yecenia Ouellette fly high with romantic adventures in Rome Italy, in Chicago and in life. But the year ends with a financial crash leaving them in a dismal situation. They learn that happiness comes and goes with the highs and lows of life. But joy, real joy, is steady as a rock and can help sustain any marriage through the tough times. Yet real joy can't come from within, it must come from the Lord.
