Paradise Found and Lost

Paradise Found and Lost is a heartbreaking and engrossing portrayal of a marriage.
Ellie was a beautiful, intelligent student nurse at a Harvard teaching hospital. Warren, a driven young intern, recognized her exceptional qualities as a life companion from their first encounter. The two dated a few months, then married.
Ellie and Warren traveled to Sweden on a fellowship, then to Seattle to finish their studies. The world was their oyster and the two believed that life couldn't get any better. But it did-with the birth of their first son. Warren began a career as a heart specialist, teacher and researcher and Ellie, a stay at home mother. Two more boys were born and some very special dogs were adopted as part of the family. The boys grew up and graduated from college, and Warren and Ellie had a chance to travel together. They celebrated 50 glorious years together.
Three months after their anniversary, Ellie was diagnosed with lung cancer and she and Warren faced a two-year battle but their love grew stronger.
