Sooner than Someday: Because love does not have to wait for perfect circumstances.

Sooner Than Someday is an inspirational love story about choosing love before life feels safe enough to begin.Kari Miller is an ER nurse who understands crisis, grief, and the fragile courage required to keep showing up for people when the truth arrives. She is practical, guarded, compassionate, and used to carrying hard things quietly. David Lawrence is a research physicist who trusts data, measurements, and careful conclusions-until one ordinary lunch at a taco truck introduces him to a woman who makes him want something he is afraid to receive.David's life is already shaped by love and loss. His mother, Maggie, has ALS. Once a strong church-choir alto with a warm voice and fierce opinions, Maggie now communicates mostly through a tablet, but the illness has not taken her humor, wisdom, faith, or ability to mother her son. Through Maggie, Kari sees a family determined to remember a person whole, not merely as a diagnosis.As Kari and David grow closer, David reveals the deeper shadow over his family: a history of ALS and frontotemporal dementia, genetic risk, testing decisions, caregiving burdens, and the fear that loving him may someday mean suffering beside him. Kari must decide whether the possibility of future pain is reason enough to step away from present love. David must learn that honesty is not the same as deciding for someone else, and that fear can disguise itself as wisdom.With warmth, faith, humor, and tenderness, Sooner Than Someday follows Kari, David, and Maggie through courtship, marriage, caregiving, grief, and hope. The story honors families affected by ALS and dementia while reminding readers that illness does not erase dignity, personality, faith, or love.For readers drawn to the reflective, life-affirming wisdom of Tuesdays with Morrie, this novel explores similar questions of love, mortality, caregiving, courage, and what it means to live fully when tomorrow is uncertain. But at its heart, Sooner Than Someday is also a tender romance-a story about ordinary grace, lemon cookies, difficult conversations, faithful community, and the brave decision to begin.Because love does not have to wait for perfect circumstances.Sometimes the right time is sooner than someday.
