When a lifelong dream becomes the worst nightmareIan and Jessica Lambert are looking forward to retirement, leaving behind their old life in suburban Lancashire for the idyllic shores of the Isle of Wight, where they had spent many memorable holidays. What is intended to be their fondest dream turns out to be the couple's worst nightmare when Jessica is diagnosed with dementia. Ian struggles to come to terms with his wife's illness and watches helplessly as that cruel demon slowly steals her away.
A Beautiful Autumn is the title story in this collection of 28 tales, each with its own subject derived from life's often turbulent journey.These stories include heart-wrenching tales, romantic and catastrophic, through to the downright comical, as in A Calling of the Higher Order, where the tolerant Jum Turnbridge, helped by his friends, tries in earnest to dissuade his headstrong fiancée, Gloria Winslow, from making the biggest mistake of her life.
