Two adoring spouses, Roger and Margaret, lose the loves of their lives and a routine that made them fond and content. They become baffled and find chaos learning to live without the other. Margaret escapes memories by traveling, and Roger keeps the candle lit, recreating memories to last the rest of his lifetime for his daughter, grandchildren, and himself. Margaret is led to Roger after finding typed letters to his beloved with questions, missing her and trying to heal. Both Roger and Margaret bond in understanding and empathy; they develop an enduring friendship as two people searching for life and doing the best they can in their remaining years.

"The Perfect Kind of Imperfect reaches your heart. You bond with Roger and Margaret as they relive what they had, meet, and reach out to each other. We get to know and love their families, and we get to know and love them. Jackie Adams has a way of writing that touches you deeply and keeps you enchanted. You close the book with a tear, and you want to hear more. We hope to meet this author again soon" (Daniel R. Mandelker, Stamper Professor of Law, Washington University in St. Louis).
