Author Edward Bear's now-sober narrator is ordered to do community service at the Hospice of St. Michael where he's put in charge of the cocktail cart and becomes the late afternoon drink dispenser for the patients there. With his great ear for dialogue, Bear draws out the meanings of the individual lives that his narrator now shares. This is a book that makes you laugh, brings a tear to your eye, and makes you think all at the same time. A wonderful read for all.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Eddy Gallagher goes from room to room at the hospice, <br /> offering the residents a cocktail before dinner. And, like any<br /> good bartender, he finds himself listening while pouring.<br /> What he hears changes his life. It will change yours, too.<br /> This is not a book about dying. This is a book about living.<br /> --Fr. Bill Brock<br /> A compelling story of a hospice volunteer who discovers<br /> meaning and purpose in his own life among the terminally<br /> ill patients he serves. The author offers comfort and reassurance<br /> to the afflicted, their families and friends who<br /> might someday have to face the hospice experience.<br /> --R. J. Rademacher, M.D.<br /> The author has taken the puzzle piece that is the spiritual<br /> part of our everyday lives and fit it nicely into place with<br /> the more obvious and accepted emotional and physical<br /> dimensions. He's made the extraordinary seem ordinary<br /> and allowed the reader to realize the potential for more<br /> awareness of self, others, and God.<br /> --Dawn Obrecht, M.D.<br /> I love this book-it's about believing.<br /> --Judith G. Dowling, Psy.D.<br /> clinical psychologist</p><br>
