Richard Ballo lives in Naples, Florida, with his two sons, Victor and Nick. While this is his first published book, he is working on several other book projects, both nonfiction and fiction. When Rich and Lisa married, Rich was a successful technical writer. After the boys were born, he left his position to be a stay-at-home dad. He kept his journalism career alive by writing feature articles for their local newspaper. But after Lisa died, writer's block overwhelmed him, threatening to smother him in a blanket of frustration and failure. Little did he know that the journal he had been diligently writing would transform his insights into a journey that enlightens and assists others with the grieving process.
