Overview

At fifty-eight years of age, Tim thought most of the hardships he would face in life were behind him and he was ready to seek romance. Fourteen years prior he had suffered a painful eighteen-month divorce that left him learning how to best raise his six children as a single father. He met someone who seemed to be the woman of his dreams. Over the next two years, she was in and out of his life. But by the end of 2015, they were discussing marriage and Tim felt blissful. What he saw through her window just a week later-two hours in to 2016-catapulted Tim into the darkest year of his life: a year bookended by a month in a treatment center and a month in jail. His shame became public when the county newspaper displayed his photograph and details (some correct and some inaccurate) of his recent infractions. Journeying Well is the compelling memoir of a respected veterinarian, upstanding community member, and dedicated father who learned how to heal (by seeking the professional help of loving practitioners) and to thrive (by seeking out mountaintops for solace) despite devastating romantic betrayal and alcoholism.
