Susie & Me (Kindle Single)

Susie & Me (Kindle Single)

Although they met later in life, Pat and Susie Jordan have always been perfect complements. Heâ€™s brash, opinionated and strong-willed; sheâ€™s the lovable girl next door who canâ€™t keep her curse words straight. But when a bout of polyurethane poisoning reveals a startling shadow on Susieâ€™s lung, the Jordans are jolted from the cozy, remote life theyâ€™ve built together into a world of highways, hospital visits, and overly-concerned friends. While itâ€™s not their first rodeo with the C word, at 74 it escapes neither husband nor wife that this could be the Big One. Which reminds them not only of their mortality, but also of their early, tumultuous pastâ€”the wild fights and even wilder reconciliationsâ€”and the last-ditch effort they made to get it right. And get it right they did, finally. Because Pat and Susie arenâ€™t your average septuagenariansâ€”in just about every way you could imagine. In Susie & Me, acclaimed journalist Pat Jordan paints a poignant, hilarious, and all-too-intimate portrait of love, love-making and friendship in the third act.

Pat Jordan has been writing for a living since 1963. His magazine stories have appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Playboy, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harperâ€™s Monthly, Menâ€™s Journal, Sports Illustrated, GQ, Time, and elsewhere.
