About The End Of The Rainbow: One Man's Unexpected
Product Description What do you do when the love of your life leaves too soon? Jen was beautiful. Everything and everyone in Jim's life paled in comparison. They had an instant connection. Before her, Jim would avoid loneliness by hanging out with friends and playing beer pong, darts, and dominoes. But she was married, so he had to get over her. Years later, fate seemed to step in as Jen and her son ended up back in Jim's life. Finally, Jim had the woman he loved. Life was blissful and felt complete. …until the diagnosis. The End of the Rainbow: One Man's Unexpected Journey of Love and Loss through Leukemia is the story of Jim and Jen, of long-lost love. It's also a story of single fatherhood, blended families, and the trials of terminal cancer. How does a husband provide for his wife when the worst-case news arrives? How does a father nurture his children when their mother no longer can? This is a story of love and heartbreak, of triumph and perseverance. Travel this unexpected journey with Jim, to The End of the Rainbow. Review "A beautiful and honest memoir, The End of the Rainbow is written from the heart with so much emotion rising from the pages. This is a story of an unbelievable woman, of a couple, of a family, and of a journey defined not by loss but by love." -- Greg Gittrich, CEO Creatively "This book is a beautiful narrative that strings together the pivotal moments in the life of a couple turned family. Interlaced throughout is unbridled honesty, pure adoration, and profound grief. And while the loss of Jen's life will leave anyone heartbroken, the love story that surrounds it all will touch your very soul." -- Tanya Lawrence, Communication and Business Strategist, The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) I was the caretaker for both my parents who passed away from lung cancers 23 months and 15 days apart. Our experience with the cancer journey, the medications, side effects, diets, hopes, and disappointments mirrored so many of yours with Jen and the kids. It struck so many cords in me. Crying isn't all bad, I think for me it was cathartic. Your story was hopeful and empowering too, it shows that with deep grieving there is healing, that somehow new strengths surface on the other side. Your story reminds the reader that it's their love that's their legacy. -- Lauren Patel, Campaign Manager, Leukemia Society About the Author Jim Forker is a first-time writer who was born an only child and raised in New Jersey.
