"A true-life adventure that reads like fiction, as a wayward son faces a diagnosis of cancer with his father ... and beats the odds."
-Nicolas Gilmartin Teranzi, Online Critics Corner
A most unique story, the life of D Basil MulQueen. Aside from his encounter with Ted Bundy, events involving Karl Wallenda, Muhammad Ali, Gordie Howe, John Lennon, Bobby Sands, and other notable characters, MulQueen himself has led an interesting life - from homeless to journalist, from football star to Prodigal Son. But his most outstanding accomplishment could be the world's longest bone marrow transplant survivor. Set against the backdrop of the widespread civic unrest of the 1960's and 1970's that was fueled by the horrors of war and political assassination that resulted in riots and massive anti-war protests and other political violence, this poignant two-volume nonfiction Join My Club duology takes the reader on an unforgettable real-life family journey through success, failure, and tragedy to ultimate redemption and the true meaning of life.
The journey starts in the 1960s with the unfolding true-life story of a father and son who after living through the turbulence of the times become estranged but later on in the 1970s reunite to face death together when the prodigal son returns home as his father, now in his fifties, and his son, now in his twenties, both battle devastating cancer diagnoses at the same time.
