Description
This woman's story begins in small-town U.S.A. in the 1950s and threads its way through life and death at the turn of the twenty-first century. It's partly a story about the deep passion of this couple's young love, interspersed with a lifetime of aviation and midget auto racing. The spark of romance that began while tap dancing as children blossomed into true love. With the birth of their first child in Okinawa during the raging Vietnam war, the adventure began in earnest.
Somewhere between the story's beginning and end lies a meditation about the reality of small-town life and the things that actually matter in a life lived like Zorba The Greek.
✦ Enjoy a fun, breezy read with lots of nostalgia for those "of a certain age" as well as those who are curious about life in the 1950s and 1960s.
✦ Get a real peek into the world of racing, risk, and adventure.
✦ Written on the other side of grief, the book is a testament to "New Life" and one's ability to celebrate a shared life that has ended all too soon.
