| Publisher Description: Yellow Rock is the passionate, very moving late-in-life love story of Jeannie and Billy Kish, who refused to "sit out" their remaining years. Instead they found adventure, joy, and ever-deepening love while traveling the open road. Along the way, they met the challenge of Billy contracting Alzheimer's by deciding to keep on going, taking chances and making the most of their life together, until Billy's death in 2006. As Jeannie states in her preface: "There are as many ways to travel, as there are places to explore. My biggest journey began eighteen years ago. After meeting my second husband, Billy Kish. We were perfect for one another, each possessing a great wanderlust. We toured all over North America in our Airstream motor home, hopped onto ferries to Newfoundland, rode horses and buggies through the German countryside, and cruised on steamships through the Amazon. But we also traveled on another kind of journey. A much more arduous road." Jeannie describes how her inner strength was tested by Billy's devastating disease. How she refused to surrender in her battle with the loss of Billy's memory, intellect, and ultimately physical capability. And the love she found from total devotion to another human being. |
