About the Author
He is a former Roman Catholic Priest now seventy years of age, who married a former nun. She died of cancer three years ago.
He tells his story in the third person, using pseudonyms throughout, for the purpose of helping him to write more soberly and objectively on the contents oftentimes very sad or provocative.
His first hand experience of world war 2, family marital breakdowns, bankruptcy, tragedy and sickness, including his own triple heart bypass and incurable cancer affliction, lends much to the relevance and empathy of the reader at large.
