From the Author:
This memoir first percolated in my mindmore than twenty years ago, and I adjusted the intensity of my writing for several years, often jumping into themess of words only to quit and relinquish everything to the back burner. How doI, as a humor writer, rip open the scars to inspect the painful drama of thepast? I couldn't finish it, so I sporadically wrote additional chapters for themanuscript while working on humorous books, including Menopause Sucks, MidlifeCabernet, and Midlife Happy Hour.
My mother's death in 2014, followed three years laterby the death of my younger brother George, convinced me to complete the book. I am grateful for the hundreds of employees of Montana Express, Ambrose Distributing, AmbroseFarms, and FarmHouse Restaurant for helping my parentsestablish and operate several successful businesses. My childhood family is gone, but I recognize the best traits ofmy parents and George in my children and grandchildren. The long haul journeyisn't over yet.
