LOOKS EASY ENOUGH is a work of narrative non-fiction recounting a four year period in the author's life where at the age of forty-six he marries for the first time, retires, and moves with his bride to a small mountain town to live the simple life. Instead, he finds himself supporting his wife through cancer, helping his sister through a grueling four year divorce from an abusive husband, watching their house - he spent the last three years building - turn to ash in California's largest recorded forest fire, and painfully witnessing their retirement money go down the drain in the largest market crash since the Great Depression. Yet, through it all, the author ultimately sees the events for what they really are and . . . comes out smiling. The refrain, "looks easy enough" is the author's general attitude towards life's many processes - from breast reconstruction to pouring concrete foundations to filing legal documents. It is also intended as an empowering affirmation to inspire readers with the confidence that they, too, can tackle even the most disheartening of life's challenges and land on their feet.
