In the fall of 2000, Wall Street analyst Peter Elkins and his photographer wife Spencie Armstrong, had everything they could have ever hoped for. Their life offered money, freedom, and opportunity. While they endured their share of the commensurate challenges facing any attractive, successful couple, Peter and Spencie were happy.

A decade later, however, Wall Street has imploded and prospects are scarce. Peter and Spencie are hollowed-out, empty, and on edge. They have just taken ownership of Peter’s grandparents’ long-neglected farm on the Chesapeake Bay to escape the financial meltdown and rebuild their marriage, an uphill battle at best.

When Andy Purcell, Peter’s lifelong friend and business partner, surprises the couple for a visit, the seduction of the city, of money, and of power follows. Soon the fragile fabric of Peter and Spencie’s new life together is strained to the breaking point. Is Peter and Spencie’s foundation strong enough to withstand the threesome’s mutual history?

KEEPING is a novel about human relationships, about perseverance in the face of uncertainty, and above all about the loss and reclamation of faith and love.
