Funny You Should Ask ... Tim Gamble: Tales of Resilience, Laughter, and Life Lessons (The Life Questions Series: True Stories of Resilience, Laughter & Life Lessons)

Some stories are too good to be true. These all happen to be both. Before Now What Are We Talking About Here?, there was Funny You Should Ask… — the origin story. This is where the questions first started, and where you find out how Tim Gamble became the man worth writing two books about. A boy hitchhikes across the country and is caught, again and again, by the kindness of strangers. A young man talks his way past cops, judges, and a draft board. A husband and wife meet on a college campus and build a life that survives everything the world throws at it — and they're still laughing, all these years later. You won't believe half of it. Then you'll find out it's all true. Told in a warm, conversational voice readers compare to "sitting up late with an old friend," these are true stories that flow so easily you lose track of time. They're funny. They're touching. And underneath all the mischief runs something quieter — a thread about luck, family, and the people who carry us when we can't see we're being carried. Each chapter begins with a simple question, and the answers add up to a portrait of an ordinary American life that turns out to be anything but. It is, as one reader put it, "an honest companion that doesn't demand anything in return, but simply sits down beside you to share the absurdity and beauty of the journey." This is a book to keep — the kind you hand to someone you love, or read aloud at the kitchen table, or hold onto for the years when you'll want these voices close. Clean, warm, and true from the first page to the last. Meet Tim here. Then read the rest of the story in Now What Are We Talking About Here?
