.. this debut into the world of publication took me on a rollercoaster ride of heartbreak, humor, and happiness. I found it very intriguing and engaging. It was difficult to put it down. You'll want to finish the entire book in one sitting.

"When Michigan native Richard Lee King lost his wife of 20 years to breast cancer in 1986, he soon retired from the banking business, eventually relocating to Jensen Beach where his two sons had moved, and began to write."
"He has put together a collection of more than 130 of his verses and poems in a single volume, A Pursuit of Life (Fiction Publishing, $19). ...... are a cathartic account of his memories and observations, arranged chronologically from his infancy forward from the womb to the tomb."
"He spent much of the past 20 years searching and writing about finding meaning for his life, since the death of his 40-year-old wife. Subsequent relationships, love, disappointment, joy, pathos, humor, sorrow, happiness, hope and more are given their due in rhyming quatrains and a section of six-line verses...... "

I loved the book. It's captivating and reads like a novel even though it's in rhyme. I feel others would find help, comfort and/or encouragement from reading it, just as I did.

Well written. I found it very enjoyable reading. Humorous, yet at times it had me nearly in tears. I particularly enjoyed the 3 patriotic poems in the LIFE'S LESSONS chapter.

My husband, Jack, says this is a very meaningful book. As he reads it, he is wiping his eyes a considerable amount and I believe that to be the sign of a best seller.
