The transformative memoir of one person's search for renewal through the creative arts.

When his beloved career as a magazine editor comes to an unexpected end, Bill Thompson glimpses a "now or never" opportunity to dive headlong into his deferred passion for the creative arts. He can now throw himself into daytime art classes, learning to draw the human figure from direct observation. Always having yearned to sing, and he takes up the mandolin and ventures into the world of fast-paced bluegrass music. Finally, he decides to write a book and finds his topic in an isolated Pennsylvania village whose people endured the crash of a hijacked airliner on 9/11.
As his artistic quest stretches from year to year, Bill must surmount the hurdles of any older adult who aspires to create something fine in the arts. Ultimately, will Bill find the artistic fulfilment he craves--or will he discover a source of renewal that was entirely unexpected?
"Bill's writing, his drawing and his music are an inspiration," says Ari Goldman, author of The Late Starters Orchestra. "And so is this book. Read it. It will make you a better person."
