This is a true story of a young man, Jim, born in Scotland and growing up during the Second World War, who emigrated to America, married his American sweetheart, Lois, and raised a family, culminating in a 36 year old love story, as they pitted together facing the unknown future.

There were many happy times, but they encountered trials of adversity which they climbed like mountain after mountain, just to find another mountain. Lois was dealt a bad hand of health, but fought smilingly on and cheated death (with the help of God) for many years. James devoted his commitment to supporting and shielding Lois, including doctoring her every need. Ending in a catastrophic illness and pitted against all odds, they continued the fight. Not until the final curtain did the life oath "till death do us part" end.

The details of this struggle are true and must be exposed for the benefit of every citizen, so they will evaluate and accept this honest account preventing possibly the jeopardising of their loved one's life. There are many things in this life not openly discussed and are suppressed but need exposure. Experience of life, if known, can allow others the opportunity to benefit and appreciate the fact that they must respect each other with love and cherish every joy which would be fleeting and end momentary. Let's face it, we are born to live and die; the question is, how do we leave, and by what and when?

There are, in this book, explanations and descriptions of complexities regarding many travels to foreign countries, pointing out their idiosyncrasies which should be enlightening to an inquisitive reader.

There is an inside look at the Sport of Kings.

Lois, the heroine of the book "in tribute", must be followed in awe for the fight against impossible odds with illnesses undeserved, but a champion of determination, with tenacity and fight against a Goliath which stunned her every friend.

Most importantly, there is emphasis on personal experience, learned by the lack of professionalism by many, however not all, of the supposed experts we need when sick, unbelievable, but true. These shortcomings must be replaced by warnings to the family; someone else must take charge for the protection of the defenceless patient.
