About the book

A quiet reckoning, written plainly

An honest book about a body that stopped cooperating, and what it actually costs a man’s pride to be cared for daily by his wife — who happens to be four years younger than his own eldest daughter. Covers handing over the keys, the age gap nobody mentions out loud, and the slow, humbling work of genuinely accepting care rather than merely tolerating it.

Chapter One

From the opening pages

I want to tell you something plainly before we go any further, because I think the honesty matters more than the comfort of dressing it up. My knees stopped being reliable enough to trust behind a wheel a few years back, and these days, Ann-Marie drives me everywhere. Ann-Marie, who is four years younger than my own eldest daughter.

I’ve sat with that sentence a long time before being ready to write a book about it.
