Description
Imagine a successful surgeon, married thirty-plus years, now in his sixties, finding out at a dinner party his wife is divorcing him as he was never man enough for her. How does he feel? How can he respond to a robbed life, a false life, a stolen life? At a time when he is ready to retire to live the life he dreamt of, he faces a new reality; one of financial destitution, or a life of quiet discontentment. Which life would you choose? Do personal happiness and fulfillment trump finances? Do you start over? How? Where do you even begin? A MUST READ for anyone contemplating divorce. Ms. Zyss is the author of two books, DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, A JOURNEY THROUGH END STAGE DEMENTIA and END GAME, both narrating life-changing difficult topics. This narrative evolved as a result of listening to friends, who in their golden years, found themselves alone and compromised both emotionally as well as financially. Ms. Zyss began her writing career just before her 58th birthday, after a family tragedy and inspired by her late husband. Writing proved to be a therapeutic outlet. She is currently busy working on NINE MONTHS AT THE SINGAPORE HILTON, chronicling her time in Singapore during the Trump-Kim Summit in 2018.
