I really hate rating a book about someone’s real life. I tend to rate books on enjoyment level. Although there was some beautiful writing. I wasn’t awed by this book. I will say it was a beautiful tribute to love and the love this author had for her husband.

I loved it.
Lloyd Bridges was my favourite actor since his Sea Hunt episodes way back in the 50’s when I was in my teens. I liked him more for a father figure and enjoyed and still enjoy his sons Beau and Jeff’s movies to this day
They too are ages with my self
I always admired that he remained in his marriage for almost 60 years as well as his beliefs and politics being that of my own
The book is about that marriage through the ups and downs of their lives and partly seen through the eyes of their children as well
But Dorothy Bridges truly loved her husband Lloyd no matter what something that this little book portrays
I found it inspiring and delightful
