This delightful true story, told in the first person by the spouse of the title character, will have readers revisiting memories of their own pasts. Baby boomers will especially enjoy the references to the pop culture, history, and politics of their youth as they become immersed in the personal lives of the author and his spouse.
In the span of an afternoon, readers will discover how a speeding ticket, a shared interest in four-part a cappella harmony, and the unlikely backdrop of the Cold War combined to set the couple on the road to holy matrimony. Along the way, the author’s warm and engaging storytelling draws readers deeper into this remarkable tale.
From chance encounters with President Jimmy Carter and the late Pope John Paul II to a longshoremen’s strike in Rouen, France, the story winds its way through the late 1970s, continually inviting readers to wonder what will happen next.
Part adventure, part travelogue, part nostalgia, and part love story, this charming memoir is an entertaining journey through an unforgettable chapter in two lives. It is an engaging debut from a natural storyteller whose warmth, humor, and sense of adventure shine on every page.
