Funny, touching, sad, with a light of hope at the end of the tunnel.

There are thousands of working actors in this country and only a handful will ever make it as rich and famous International Stars. This story is not about one of the handful.

This is the tragicomedy memoir of a Stage and Television star of the 70s and 80s who is forced to abandon his career when his beloved wife, Marie, suffers a massive stroke which leaves her physically disabled. As her full time carer and with approaching old age he reviews their life together and resorts to his sense of humor and writing to enable him to cope with the restrictions of his new found, unexpected way of life and to satisfy his driving creative inclinations.

The story reveals the author’s comic reaction to his career and encroaching old age intertwined with a touching love story that eventually questions his spiritual beliefs and makes him into the man he has become. As he says, Not a trip for the faint hearted.
