Then one day he suffered a stroke-like episode and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He lost everything - his job, his marriage, even his perceived persona. Surveying the ruins of his former life, he saw an opportunity to fulfill a long-postponed dream: he put life in Seattle on hold and moved to west Kerry. Renting a cottage in `The Town', and tapping into a profound passion for food, he learned his life, loves and even dreams weren't lost - just waiting to be rediscovered. Trevis surmounts physical setbacks and cultural differences with self-effacing wit, serving up life's lessons and his favourite recipes one tasty chapter after another. This is a story not of survival, but of living life to the full. Trevis's inspirational humour in the face of his changed life is sure to have you coming back for seconds. The humour is guaranteed to have you coming back for second helpings. * Food and Wine magazine * Charming [...] powerful. * MS News * Engaging, witty yet inspiring. * Irish Examiner * Highly recommended. * Radio Kerry * Told with humour, insight and a good dollop of biting sarcasm that's not common in your average 'wide-eyed' Yank. * The Kerryman * 'A joy to read.' * Martha King, editor of Momentum, magazine of the National MS Society * 'Relatable, funny, smart, sceptical, hopeful and always interesting.' * Rose Pike, EverydayHealth.com * 'Trevis is a consummate storyteller, a magician with words.' * Kathy Casey, chef and author * 'Told with humour, insight and a good dollop of biting sarcasm that's not common in your average "wide-eyed" Yank.' * The Kerryman.
