Summary:
"A story of addiction and recovery,
love
and perseverance, and a reminder that it's never too late to start over. Bob Ramsay had it
all
-- and
lost
it
all
, often. At forty, he lived in a drug treatment centre in Atlanta. Starting over
back
in Toronto, he began dating an older woman, a doctor named Jean Marmoreo, who had three angry kids of divorce. The chances of this relationship lasting were zero. But they married and created a very different 'out there' life for themselves, climbing mountains, running marathons, and exploring the ends of the earth. Then one day Bob's heart stopped, and life got much worse after it was re-started. But once again, perseverance and
love
won over fate, and today, Bob turns connection into an art form, while Jean Marmoreo is a MAiD doctor -- leading her patients across the thin veil between life and death.
Love
or
Die
Trying
is a
love
story that unfolded against
all
odds and a reflection on a life anchored between a first death and the future."--Publisher.
