This novel is about a mother (jMarie) who learns how to cope after doctors tell her that her twenty-five year old quadriplegic son (Jarvis) has about eighty days to live. It's about wondering where God was and if her faith or sometimes lack of faith, will really get her through the challenging times she would face.

With the help of her sister and friends she throws herself back into her invention world; which helps her get her life back on track. She then learns to take responsibility for her life and she pushes forward and moves on. Reversing the old saying "We live and we learn" jMarie's new motto is "Learning then living" because you still have life!

After re-emerging into her life and putting her School of Common Sense (SCS) degree back into action jMarie made about a half dozen New Year's resolutions, with the following four carried over from last year: 1) Stop giving advice to adults unless they are in an emergency situation and she is there to witness it. 2) Join Aliza's church (again). 3) Finalize the license for her invention and 4) Get a commitment from Vince or else.

Yes, jMarie is convinced this is going to be, not just a good year, but her year.
