On Methuselah's Trail by Peter Douglas Ward
When Linda Pierson first met Hazen Meeks at an amusement park, it was love at first sight. Hazen, a candle maker and rock and roller, captured Linda's heart from the moment he walked by her photography booth. As Linda and Hazen began dating and eventually married, she had no idea of the challenges that would await both of them in the coming years. After Linda joined Hazen in work and in life, he suffered two strokes considered ?reversible? through physical therapy and a change of medicine. But just two years later, he suffered another stroke that robbed him of his ability to walk and lead a normal life. As Linda and Hazen bravely faced their new challenge together, she details how he set out to prove the impossible was possible and surprised everyone around him by accomplishing more than anyone ever believed he could. As his health crises led him through a heart attack, quadruple bypass surgery, and eventually cancer, Linda shares a glimpse into a caregiver's heart as she tended to his physical needs and, most importantly, loved him unconditionally. Giving Up Is Not an Option is the true story of one couple's journey together through nineteen years of health challenges as they persevered through their darkest days with love, faith, and hope.
Ward, Peter: - Peter Ward was born in London in 1980. He was educated at William Torbitt Primary School and Ilford Country High School in Essex, before studying English Literature at the University of Southampton. He started writing his first book Time Rep in 2002, which took six years to complete. He then left it in a drawer for three years before putting the first draft of it on the internet in 2011. After being downloaded 60,000 times and receiving (mostly) positive reviews, he thought it would be wise to approach a literary agent. This led to a new and improved draft of Time Rep being published by Diversion Books in 2013. A German translation is due later in the year through Piper Verlag GmbH. He began writing his second book Note to Self just as Time Rep was being completed in 2008. The final draft was completed in February 2013 and is due to be published by Diversion Books later this year.
He lives in London with his partner Lucy and a very small cat.
