Book Cover & Preview Text
Just a couple of weeks after my dad’s eye surgery, I woke up, went outside on my dad’s patio to smoke the first cigarette of the day, and I heard my step mother calling me. She said my dad wasn’t moving. I really didn’t believe her but took a look anyway. I opened the door to their room, and there he lay, patch over the eye, his jewelry and watch still on but with his skin looking waxy. I instantly knew he was dead because of the way his skin looked. I touched his arm, and it was still warm, but his face was cold. I called 911. After the call and the arrival of the coroner, I went into the living room. The house appeared sunny, smelled better, and a heaviness that had been there was now lifted. The house felt more peaceful. The beauty of that morning was amazing and strange.

About the Author
I feel I am qualified to write this book because I wish to share my life’s experiences, especially the events that have taken place over the last three years. My life in the last three years has been an unbelievable journey with some healing along the way. Maybe I can help someone else. Just writing my book has been somewhat therapeutic for me. I currently live in Tucson, Arizona, and getting ready to put my new dream home on the market and move back to Alabama, where my major support resides, my friends. I am recently divorced, broke, no parents, but somehow I can still have some fun. I was born in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until my teen years, then my dad was transferred to Alabama, where I lived for the next thirty-plus years. I have lots of talents, hobbies, and blessings from God. I am fifty-nine years old and very active and retired from Chrysler in 2009. When I was married, my then husband and I decided to build our dream home in Tucson, but because he was unable to work on our marriage, we divorced. We grew apart.
