Publisher's Summary:
One Billion Seconds: There's Still Time to Discover Love delivers a powerful tale of how true love transcends time, tragedy, and a broken heart. Deeply in love, Poppy and Geoff still need help from Jesse, a relational choreographer, to help them manage life's ups and downs and the communication skills needed to maintain a mature relationship. But sometimes real life and true love don't mix.
Jesse's star couple break up and move to separate parts of the country. For the next 32 years - or one billion seconds - Poppy and Geoff lead separate lives, which include marriages, children, deaths, divorces, 9/11, and losing their own identities.
The beautiful story opens in happy times, featuring the two college sweethearts in sunny Florida over three decades ago. But their storybook romance comes to a screeching halt when Poppy graduates ahead of Geoff and returns home to Wisconsin. Initially, the young love was not enough for distance and naiveté.
"We were 21 years old and naive," Poppy and Geoff quip of their real-life break-up more than 30 years ago. "Through the writing of One Billion Seconds, we uncovered the implicit understanding of what makes relationships work and what can lead to their downfall; and, the short answer is to embrace vulnerability. We wouldn't have turned tragedy into triumph, gotten back together, or written a book without being 100% vulnerable."
This book not only entertains, it also inspires listeners to truly understand the value of vulnerability. It's more than a novel and not exactly a memoir; instead, One Billion Seconds is an inspirational tale that weaves the Spencers' real-life professional experiences as relationship consultants with their own love story.

A Love Story Worth Savoring
A second chance at true love, One Billion Seconds is well written and grounded in honest communication. Rich with insights of what the other half might be thinking and feeling, and in interpretations and misinterpretations of a partner's perceptions. Through Jesse, a unique romance choreographer/narrator, the reader gleans insights into the fragility of budding romantic relationships and the initiative and nudges needed to nurture them to maturity. Imaginative. Compelling. A celebration of the essential ingredients that build lasting relationships.
is a hopeful love story, and this is it
What the world needs now, more than ever, is a hopeful love story, and this is it. I read it on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and it was breezy, hopeful, and authentic. What separates this from a typical love story is the unique concept of the Relationship Clock, which I really loved-- a backbone ideaology that teaches one how to gauge emotions in a relationship. While I was learning about their relationship, I found myself gauging experiences of my own....very powerful. Loved it!
Good old days!
Have to admit, not completely done reading it. Only got it yesterday....but wow, just a wonderful story. Especially for an old lady. Still remember the wonders of young love and feel a part of their lives. Know the story is going to take a turn, can't wait to finish it. Beautiful and feels your heart. Thanks Poppy and Geoff.
A great read. I met this couple in real life ...
A great read. I met this couple in real life just recently. This is a true story of young love lost and later found.
