Rudy and Joslyn are a couple who have lived in a small (and hot) (really freakin' hot) desert town in Southern California for the last nine years. We moved here thinking that it would be a great place to start a new life - work, golf, relax in "paradise". We had no way to know that our lives would change so much in the last three years, and we need to share how we are learning that the word FORTITUDE has a special meaning for us, and many others at this moment in time.
