Now almost two decades later, married with a beautiful son, Charlie, they are living the perfect suburban life in Middle America. But when a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, she begins attending writing therapy, where she gradually reveals her fears about Ian’s PTSD; her concerns for the safety of their young son; and the couple’s tangled and tumultuous past with Jo.

Book Description
Is it an exciting novel? Is it instructional? Is it about self- improvement? Is it a great cookbook? Is it about romance and lust? Is it about horror and crime? Am I a famous selling author? Am I a celebrity? It is none of these things. What it is, is an autobiography about me. It is an expose', it is truthful and factual. It is my life story, the good, bad and ugly. It is also very funny. Who else would lose the end of a stethoscope under a women's pendulous breast, or fall in wet concrete head to toe? Or, chase large bullfrogs through a hotel lobby. Or, being exposed to bestiality in Mexico at the tender age of 15. Or popping a cork on my wedding night. Or taking tap dancing and ballroom dancing at the ripe old age of 13 with 12 girls? I think it is an interesting, exciting funny book. My life is now an OPEN book. I highly recommend reading it and if you enjoy it, look for my next book re-living my travels and celebrity encounters and much more. For me, this has been an enlightening experience. SETH S. SCHURMAN, M.D. Physician/Author
