About the authors

They've sat where you're sitting. They've felt what you're feeling.

Drs. James and Terresa White are pastors of Heritage Nation, founders of Happily Ever After Inc., and parents and grandparents.

They learned in the trenches — through violence, betrayal, separation plans, and the slow deliberate work of rebuilding.

Today they travel the world helping couples discover their own happily ever after.

This is their first book together — and the story people have been asking them to tell for years.
