O knihe

Diagnosed with advanced liver disease, coupled with a fracturing marriage, a father of three young girls knows there's no time to engage in anxiety or self-pity. Doug laughs between the tears as he pulls every ounce of courage possible to face the biggest tests of his life. In the chaos of fighting the sneaky, methodical liver disease that threatens to kill him, Doug wrestles with divorce, parenting three daughters, and trying to make the most out of life. Somehow, the prospect of dying feels more natural than divorce, but as the love fades in his marriage, Doug realizes that perhaps his wife is simply the one with the courage to say so. But their marriage produces three healthy daughters, so a mission exists to see to their fruitful upbringing. Doug clings to life as he attempts to fulfill his paternal duties. Planets, Transplants, and Autocorrect dives into single parenting, dating misfires, remarriage, and trying to maintain a sense of humor throughout all that life throws at us, even when the outcome may look grim at times. Follow Doug from desperation in the Barnes-Jewish ICU to his white-knuckle driving experience on the highly banked corners at Daytona Motor Speedway. You will find inspiration in both the tragedy and blessings that come Doug's way in this slice-of-life memoir about overcoming the odds and living life to the fullest.
