From This Day Forward
by Nicolas Ridley
Set in an alternate reality, 3 couples meet in a state-run facility and have just a few hours to make a life-changing decision. But can happiness really be mandated by the government? And how can laws and regulations make sense of the chaos of love and attraction? As the night gives way to morning, they are forced to decide.
Both fantastical but all too believable, From This Day Forward explores the nature of the married state and the rules that govern it. Will you guess which marriage survives?
