NEVER TAKING HER EYES FROM MINE, Beth touches my cheek, smiles, and says, "I want to know you, Win. I want to know it all. I want to know your journey to me, the road that brought you here. I want to know all the people, those that led you here and those that pushed you here, your family and your friends. I want to know your adventures and misadventures, your laughter and your tears, your love won, and your love lost. I want to know all the things that made you who you are. Then, maybe then, I can find what I need to stay." Thus begins Win's tales, a humorous journey from birth through childhood and adolescence to adulthood, paralleling the evolution of his relationship with Beth. They meet secretly, hiding from her long-time fiancé, in places ranging from the dark ages section of a library to a honky-tonk bar. His stories span a small southern town where doors are unlocked to college in Charleston, basic training in Texas, Vietnam, and back to another small town. A colorful cast of characters includes a dog named Deogee, a snake named Bigfoot, a "smoking hot" sixth-grade art teacher, and a childhood friend who teaches Win to kiss. Win's path is filled with unintended consequences, ensuring laughter at every twist and turn.
