Not Yet Christopher — Michael Thompson

The head of the Tremble family, seeking a reprieve from the mundane, tough sledging of family life, enlists in the Army Reserve. The redoubled effort to seek camaraderie and excitement outside of the family foists the lion's share of the home onto wife, Nadine. The two adrift at sea, each rowing opposite one another in the canoe of life, will it be readily apparent that the embers of intimacy and love are diminishing? Will Mr. Tremble be able to see the unspoken requests of Nadine's heart, or will she too find validation outside of being a wife and mother? The bonds of marriage are fully pushed upon and tested, leaving one to wonder, Do we truly mean for better or worse, or do we only mean it for the better?
