Richard Plourde liked CLorraine's review of Back to You...: The Astonishing Fate of John Fisher: "Back to You...: The astonishing fate of John Fisher by Richard Plourde is an incandescent story of one man’s journey of discovery and growth.

“I haven’t always been a pain in the ass. A few old friends might even say that I used to be nice—even charming! But that was before. Before moving to the big city to pursue ambitions considered excessive by most of my acquaintances. Before I burned all the bridges that linked me to those who claimed to love me. Before the success and more money than I would ever know how to spend. Before the endless outings to bars and nightclubs, where I drowned my boredom in the infinite sea of fools. Before the one-night stands that drained me of my sexual energy. But, mostly, it was before my diagnosis. Before a little six- letter word derailed my lifestyle.”
