Before there was Rick and Alice Valentine, there were Larry and Sabrina — two adventurers thrown together on a blind date from Craigslist. Weeks later, they were living under the same roof. A few months after that, they were married.

Both were military veterans with nothing to lose, so they left Norfolk, Virginia — the city where fate had introduced them — and headed for the Pacific Northwest.

What they didn’t know then was that Sabrina was carrying hidden battles inside her body and mind. Undiagnosed illnesses masked by grit and survival. Through every heartbreaking diagnosis, Rick never left her side. When Sabrina refused to fight, he fought for her.

At 43, Sabrina learned what her bones had long been holding: Dissociative Identity Disorder. Autism. ADHD. Her many selves — the ones who had been crying out for decades — finally had a voice. With the help of her therapist, Ginnette, she began to listen.

Names shifted and reshaped along the way, but the one that remained constant was Alice: Alien Lifeform Implementing Collective Earth.

And Rick? He carries many names as well. His life has been one of love, loss, adventure, and of surrendering the ability to dream once he met Alice. What he gained instead was devotion. A devotion so complete it could only exist between two souls who truly saw one another.
