All I Can Say is, Thanks! An inspirational love story full of adventure and the power to grow and change through the goodness of God.
Raised in a large Catholic family on the Southside of Buffalo, New York and indoctrinated into the faith as a youth, Jim was also destined for a street education resulting in the development of several character-destroying habits.
Desperately trying to conquer his passions, he looked to his religion for help. As hard as he tried, the freedom he sought still eluded him. Only after surrendering to the call of his heart did a turnaround for the better take place.
This memoir tells a love story spanning several decades. After the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Sue, the mother of his three children, Jim is left grief-stricken.
Linda, a woman born into poverty in a small town in southern Italy, has immigrated to America as a teenage bride. After conquering many obstacles and living the American Dream she too suffers the untimely death of her husband.
Never having met and living within two, very diverse cultures in different cities a chance encounter occurs. With this bitter connection, Jim and Linda become friends and build a beautiful new life together.
There is a spirit of overwhelming gratitude as Jim reflects on his life's experiences. Through the many trials and tribulations it is obvious that Someone up there has been looking out for him throughout his entire life.
