Summary:
"When Trevis Gleason, a former chef at the top of his professional culinary career, was diagnosed with
multiple
sclerosis
, he lost everything - his job, his marriage, even his perceived persona. Surveying the ruins of his former life, he saw an opportunity to fulfill a long-postponed dream. He would travel from Seattle, Washington, to the wilds of west Kerry,
Ireland
for the winter. Renting a rustic cottage in The Town, Trevis braved narrow, sheep-obstructed roads and antiquated heating systems to learn that his life, his loves (including cooking), and even his dreams weren't lost, just waiting to be rediscovered in this magical place. He acquired a charming puppy named Sadie, who grounded his days and served as a devoted companion as he surmounted inevitable physical setbacks and cultural challenges. All the while, he entertained a steady stream of visiting friends and relatives, including his former wife. The Town's colorful characters welcomed the American stranger as one of their own, and he soon found himself reveling in the beauty of the rugged countryside, the authentic joy of the holidays, the conviviality of the pubs, and the hearty flavor of the simple food. Recipes included. Retired from a distinguished culinary career, Gleason has taken on the challenges of living with secondary-progressive
multiple
sclerosis
since his diagnosis in 2001. He speaks to groups, large and small, about living life fully with or without a chronic illness. Gleason divides his time between Seattle, Washington and County Kerry,
Ireland
with his wife, Caryn, and their two Irish Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers, Sadie and Maggie. Visit the author's website at trevisgleason.com"--Provided by publisher.
