What happens when all you wanted becomes yours and then, like the receding tide, begins to slip away?
That’s the question Annette Wick was forced to answer when her young husband was diagnosed with leuklemia. What would become of their idyllic marriage? Their infant son? Her dream home on the Oregon coast?
This inspiring story traces Annette’s brave adventure into the dark valley of despair and back again to the warm sunshine of hope. Told in the voice of a poet, I’ll Be in the Car is, ultimately, a story of joy and triumph.
Take this journey and discover for yourself that when life as you know it ends, there’s still an abundance of life to be lived.
Three Arch Press presents I'll Be in the Car, a poetic account chronicling the real-life experiences of author Annette Wick as her husband is diagnosed with, and ultimately dies from leukemia. Poignantly, this story portrays the even greater challenge for the caregiver--finding life after losing someone so important to every aspect of who you are. For anyone who has or will experience loss, Annette Wick reminds readers, caregivers and widows - We are not alone. We all share the common thread of struggling to live again.
Excerpt -
"Devin’s quirks disguised that one fault beneath his exterior, one that ran deeper than the cancer in his blood. Occasionally, it had surfaced before special nights out. As I finished dressing, Devin would announce, “I’ll be in the car!”
The fact that he sat alone in the car still upset me, not because he used the time to make calls or arrange his music collection, but that he was confident in leaving—without me."
A chronicle of courage, a journey into the real meaning of living in the present moment and ...a book that will stay with you, long after you have savored the last line. - - Kathy Wade, Executive Director, Women Writing for (a) Change
I'll Be In The Car is a story of hope, not despair - it is about finding love in the precious moments of life together, no matter how fleeting, and the choice to carry on and cherish the love that was had rather than the years that were lost. An uplifting testimony written to reach out to readers...highly recommended. - Midwest Book Review
