Our Beating Hearts

Five years later and three years into a happy marriage of both "settling down" and "big dreams ahead", Shannon was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. The day altered the trajectory of their lives, their marriage, and their expectations.

In this touching love story, Herd chronicles their eighteen-year journey. He reflects as a single father, eager to keep the memory of his loving and spirited wife alive, and details the deep love they had for one another and his grief. Our Beating Hearts is about remembering and accepting that often our lives are changed forever in ways we wish they weren't. But as we put the broken pieces back together, healing does come, and we can begin to imagine a new journey that lies ahead.
