Description

For twenty years, Ellen Greene kept a running list of the thoughtful, funny, touching things that her husband, Marsh, said and did. She wrote them down secretly, then shared them with him every Valentines Day when he would find pages from her Sweet Things List tucked inside a card.

A lovely and poignant tribute to a man and a marriage, written with grace and candor, Remember the Sweet Things captures the kindness, sharing, humor, and affection that defined the Greenes union and encourages us to acknowledge the goodness in our own lives and relationships.

Told in a clear and honest voice, its indelible message--that it's all the sweet little things that add up to an extraordinary love--is a true gift to the reader." -- -- New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs

"Ellen Greene tells us how "happily ever after" works, and she does it with such grace and candor that even the unluckiest and most cynical will take note...." -- Marilyn Johnson, author of The Dead Beat

"REMEMBER THE SWEET THINGS isn't merely a love story. It is a manual for healthy living, told with searing honesty and profound tenderness, and poignance that touches you on virtually every page....I didn't just savor REMEMBER THE SWEET THINGS. I am a better person for having read it." -- Wayne Coffey, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Boys of Winter
