Chasing a fluff feature article on an Alaskan cruise ship, 28-year-old recently-dumped Ward finds himself surrounded by couples in love. One particular retirement-aged couple captivates Ward to the point of demanding the Professor relate the story of how he and Teddie found their happiness together. As the Professor cruises through his tragedy-laced life, Ward discovers that his own life is salvageable. The question is whether he can apply the Professor's lessons.

This is an engaging story of hope and love lost, then lost again as a near alcoholic reporter about to lose his job is forced to take a leave of absence or be fired, finds himself on a cruise ship. There he meets a Professor who shares the details of his life, in which the reporter hopes to find a the needed career saving story. Parts of the professor's story will bring you to tears. It will make you think. It will make you want to read the next book in the series "Who the Heck is Beth?"
