She (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278490166)

A heart attack at forty. Forced retirement at fifty-nine. Joe Dunning thought the story of his life was already written in quiet desperation, cubicles, and canned soup eaten alone over a kitchen sink.

Then he ran.

One carry-on, one laptop, one rooftop condo in Southeast Asia, and a typewriter that finally let the words out. Freedom tasted like beef pho, cheap red wine, and sunrise on a Bangkok patio.

And then came Em.

Young enough to be his daughter. Mysterious enough to walk into his home with his spare key and cook him dinner without a word. She became muse, lover, caretaker, and the only person on earth who refused to let him die alone.

SHE is a raw, unflinching novelette about second chances that arrive too late, love that burns brightest when the clock is almost out, and the sound of typewriter keys echoing long after the writer is gone.

Part love story, part deathbed confession, all tear-jerker.
