A deeply moving memoir about a love that defied the odds, navigated life's hardest battles, and endured beyond the final goodbye.

Bernadette Stinson (Katie Puddphatt) takes readers on an intimate journey through the profound highs and devastating lows of her life with her soulmate, Kevin. "Nobody Thought We Would Last" is a raw, unflinching, and beautifully honest account of a relationship tested by every conceivable trial. From the thrilling early days of falling in love to the terrifying uncertainty of pregnancy scares, and the absolute joy of bringing their son Patrick into the world, Katie and Kevin's bond was forged in the fire of real life.

They weathered unimaginable storms-heartbreaking family betrayal, the devastating loss of parents, the grueling reality of Kevin's kidney failure, and Katie's own battle with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Yet, through every move, every hospital stay, and every tear, their commitment only deepened.

Perfect for readers of profound personal memoirs, medical struggles, and true love stories, this book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is a powerful reminder that while grief is the heavy price we pay for love, true love never really dies.
