The Anniversary Waltz At their sixtieth anniversary party, Adam Carlson asks his wife, Elizabeth, for their customary waltz. After the dance they gather the family and share their story-a story of love and courage overcoming adversity and thriving in the face of overwhelming odds. It's the summer of 1946, and Adam has just returned from the war to his home in Reunion, Montana. At a town festival he meets Elizabeth Baxter, a young woman going steady with his former high school rival and now influential banker, Nathan Roberts. When Adam and Elizabeth share a waltz in a deserted pavilion one evening, their feelings begin to grow and they embark on a journey, and a dance, that will last a lifetime.

MY THOUGHTS
This book is incredible, this is Darrel's first book and all I can say is "what took you so long, Darrel?" A wonderful story of true love, a story you won't want to put down. Excellent characters and very believable. This book will make you laugh and cry as you read of Adam and Elizabeth's love story.
