Overview

What would you do if the end of a promising childhood as the eldest son of a respectable, conservative old New England family found you fighting to recover from the chaos of becoming a college dropout, skirting the sharp edge of debilitating mental illness, and then having a well-intentioned and promising young marriage fail? What if you drove yourself to return to college, completed your degree studies, entered your chosen profession, and then discovered that in an attempt to clear away the ghosts of all those unhappy experiences you had thrown away everything you'd gained? What if you uprooted yourself from the people and places and relationships and accomplishments that had defined your life so far and moved across a continent for a fresh start, only to discover that through coincidences of time, place and circumstance along with the emotional baggage you hadn't known you were carrying, nobody in what you'd hoped would be your new home cared about any of that? Would that have been the time to drop out, sink down, get drunk or maybe stoned or even worse... Would it have offered a fine excuse to just give up and maybe even die? It would.....but it didn't. Side Door To Heaven is the third and final book of my Imperfectly Ordinary trilogy, in which I trace the events of my life from my days as a boy too smart for his own good who could not fit into the place conservative New England society had seen fit to make for him, to the time the young man he grew up to be did not dare to accept the possibility that he had been given the soul of an artist along with the obligation to recognize and use God-given talents. Side Door To Heaven is also the story of a remarkable woman, a friend who eventually became my wife and my soul mate, who saw in me the promise of wonderful things I'd barely imagined before I met her and would never have dared to realize without her at my side.
