STEPS STEEPER THAN MOUNTAINS

It is time for a senior’s tale. Now stay with me here, ‘Steps Steeper Than Mountains’ is neither a ‘how-to’ nor a spiritual guide but a 40,000 word inspirational memoir of a grieving senior from the U.S. shuffling alone for four weeks through Europe who, through beauty, wine, sex, sorrow, and duress, to enter a new restored life. Themes encompass growth through grieving; joy of art and beauty, being lost in massive airports, finding endurance and accepting aging’s decline.

Written by a senior enriched with decades of roller coaster experiences, Steps Steeper Than Mountains presents a quintessential Hero’s journey in the classic sense whose ending births a beginning. Considering that 56 million Americans are older than sixty-five, with more being added each day, this story could resonate with many in a variety of formats and markets. 

Steps Steeper Than Mountains visually and emotively catapults the reader through this cathartic journey from the first moments of identity destroying grief, agonizingly restricted for two years by the Covid pandemic from honoring his wife’s wishes to disburse her ashes in Greece.
