Author Description

So I Finally Wrote My Book is a heartfelt journey through time, family, perseverance and love. It chronicles the life story of a couple who understood the importance of service to country, to community and to family. After a ten year childless wait, the pair adopted Keith, Linda, Marianne, Shannon and Kirk, ages 12 through 6, from Toronto Canada. Five years later the couple was blessed by the birth of Jill and then Jane. Because of the age difference, in some ways it was like having two families, but it developed into one big happy group. The story is highlighted by the rare inclusion of both husband and wife voices. The collaborative narrative with Mary Lou provides perspective and depth. An unforgettable life story that reads like a warm conversation with an old friend, it is honest, funny and moving. From a family legacy viewpoint this memoir is a treasure.
