Peggy Moore yearns to know the secret to her parents’ long-lasting love. Six weeks before her own wedding, the twenty-three-year-old has an argument with her fiancé that shatters her confidence. When she discovers her parents created an “Anniversary Box” during their twenty-four-year marriage to record messages to support their love to blossom and make their relationship stronger, she’s determined to locate their special correspondence.
But lung cancer has claimed her mom, and her dad is unable to communicate due to a stroke, so she’s left to search by herself for the mysterious anniversary box. Yet, as she slowly pieces together the clues to the contents, she learns that the anniversary box holds something new that reveals the profound depth of her mother and father’s connection…

Praise Anniversary Box by Tom Murphy
”Tom Murphy has written a beautiful and truly inspiring novel that comes directly from the author’s heart. THE ANNIVERSARY BOX is that rare love story that can be enjoyed equally by both men and women.
This book is a gift and a guide for all the world’s lovers, and all those who believe that love conquers all. “–Nelson DeMille
This is one of those books that everyone should have on their bookshelf. Read it, again and again, to remind us what’s important in a relationship. This is today’s “The Giving Tree” (Shel Silverstein)—the gift you give to the wedding party, to the couple celebrating their first or fiftieth anniversary, or that special someone you love.
I read the story in one sitting and confess I was swept up in the emotions, tears streaming down my face, heart lifted. You will get trapped in the sticky honey of this little book—it will touch your heart. I highly recommend it.”-BJ Magnani, author of The Dr. Lily Robinson series
About Tom Murphy
Tom Murphy is the founder of The Human Resiliency Institute at Fordham University in NY. His most recent novella, The Anniversary Box: A Love Story, was penned after his wife, Barb, a marathon runner, passed away following a hard-fought battle with non-smoking lung cancer. First, he created a charity beer as a tribute to her courage, and now The Anniversary Box takes all he learned from Barb about resiliency and crystalizes it so others can learn how to keep love alive for a lifetime.
Tom Murphy is the author of three other books. He joined with John J. Kelley, the 1957 Boston Marathon winner, to write Just Call Me Jock, a history of the Boston Marathon as seen through the eyes of Jock Semple, the race’s colorful co-director. In 2006, he wrote a book about the aviation heroes of 9/11, Reclaiming the Sky, which led the president of Fordham University to invite Tom to create the Human Resiliency Institute at Fordham to put healing lessons from the book into programs to teach resiliency. The institute’s lead program, Edge4vets, teaches military veterans how to tap their strengths to get jobs.
In 2018, Tom wrote Runner in Red (Encircle Publications), a Boston Marathon mystery novel that draws upon a real-life Boston Marathon legend about the first woman to run a marathon in America.
Tom has a B.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C. He splits his time between New York City and Boston. He’ll be offering workshops to help people strengthen their relationships around the themes in The Anniversary Box.
