Produktbeschreibung
Gabe and Jenny Steele are looking forward to years, perhaps decades, as retirees. They ask themselves all the right questions: Where should we spend our retirement? Can we afford to move? How will we fill our time in the final chapter of our life? They choose a place, DuPont Landing, a small member-owned community on an island with no bridge which is only accessed by ferry. All motorized transportation on the small island is limited to golf carts. They revel in the natural beauty and solitude, participate in social activities, and watch sunsets on a private beach far from the hustle and bustle of their former urban world. But life often holds many surprises as we journey toward the future. Gabe and Jenny find themselves facing obstacles they never anticipated. This book targets anyone who stands at the threshold of retirement after a long career. If you are relatively healthy, you must account for years, even decades, of future life experiences. As the fictional tale follows the odyssey of the protagonist and his wife as they face challenges and learn new lessons, the story offers the reader food for thought.

Autorenporträt
Bernard Mansheim was born on the leading edge of the Baby Boom generation. Having enjoyed a long professional career in medicine and business, he was among the first of his generation to face the challenges of retirement. The questions of When, Where, and How became his singular focus as the door to retirement opened. He dutifully studied options with his wife as they entered a heretofore unknown world. One product of their experience is a novel about a couple who confront the realities of retirement. Bernard previously authored a novel, Still a Doctor, which chronicled the professional life of a physician. Though fictional, it parallels his experiences through the course of his medical career.
