Readers Review

This book is a poignant study into the challenges and sadness the writer has endured, yet he has managed to come through it all each time stronger, and willing to share his story. I have known Ralph for over 35 years, and proud to have served alongside him in our fire service careers. Much of what he told about in his story occurred during this period of our lives, but due to his stoicism, he kept much of it from being put on the shoulders of those around him. His story should be a lesson in perserverence for all of us to learn from. He has experienced more sadness and sorrow than many of us should expect in one lifetime and in spite of it, emerged as an inspiration to us all.

I didn’t want the book to be over. I’ve known Ralph for over 20 years and I knew both of these women in his book but never did. I know him to the depth that he shows himself in the pages of his book. Most of us want to be honestly, sincerely, totally, loved and in love in our lifetimes and rarely does it happen to the extent that Ralph has been able to express in the pages of his book. His life is a whole has been exciting and multifaceted. But when you add in the love affair that he had with both Rummy and Delfina it’s so deep and all consuming. I was in awe, I laughed. I cried, I wept deeply at finding my own grief and his. It rarely happens with me, but I know that I will read this book again and again, and I will share it with others.
