Widower's Journey, A
Burton Witkovsky
Frank Nelson, recently widowed, retires from his successful architecture and construction business and moves to California from Chicago to be closer to his grown children. What's in store for Frank in this odyssey are lessons in sex and relationships. Sixty-some-year-old Frank Nelson begins his odyssey sowing a few wild oats.
A chance meeting on a golf course leads to a night of ecstasy, but he's turned out in the morning by a woman who's afraid of falling for a man leaving the Midwest. Phyllis, a friend of friends in San Francisco, tries to persuade Frank to live in the Bay Area instead of Southern California - on their first (and last) date. Ruth is torn between her adopted son's need for a father and having to share the boy's affection andattention with a male role model. Carla, the broker for Frank's new home in Laguna Beach, likes him in bed, but would overshadow his every desire. Finally, Frank meets Tilly. She's anything but desperate, but willing to explore having a good life together.
Review: "Fascinating! When widow Frank Nelson heads west to a new life and meets more wonderful women than he can handle, he finds new meaning to the word 'retirement.' A delightful, inspiring story with a suprising conclusion."
-Douglas Muir, author of And the Angles Sing and Orient Express
