: About Me

I live in Rochester NY and really, no really like my job as an Activities Director at a local nursing home. You gain another perspective on just how your life is going.

I savor a really good beer, then sometimes another and, yes, once in a while, I'll get really drunk. I pray that my hazy conduct didn't offend anyone but make no excuses.

It is perfectly justified to wonder if my objectivity, as a reviewer, has been compromised. I'm asking the reader to trust me. While the book, early on, is in danger of become a mini character sketch of Grace, the story is powerfully personal, agonizing and ultimately positive. Grace is very open about the ordeal her granddaughter "Chloe" experienced at the hands of a ...
