Capricorn & Cancer

During the unparalleled covid pandemic of 2020, author James Hilgendorf and his wife Elizabeth, faced the second year of battling Elizabeth's pancreatic cancer.  This was during the 50th year of their marriage.

Their story is told, going back through their parents' lives, including the high points of their own extraordinary marriage, to the final day-to-day account and diary of their confrontation near the end of the year with death itself.

At the same time, chaos and division and anger surged all across America, as America itself faces its own reckoning with life and death.

This is a story of the unfolding within two peoples' lives, and, at the same time, within America, of a deep transformation.

It is a story of love. A story of life and death.  A story unfolding in eternity.
