One Moment at a Time - A Love Story (Hardcover)

A couple realizes the true meaning of love and commitment as they face a debilitating illness together in this funny, wise and bravely candid portrait of a marriage.

It was a classic case of opposites attracting. When they met, Dick Squires was a well-known figure in the world of racquet sports with a broken marriage and a string of ill-fated love affairs behind him. Joan was an attractive, revered university professor known to her family and wide circle of friends as "Doc."

Dick was more than willing to reform his philandering ways for Doc, and in 1986 they were married. Embarking on the greatest adventure of their lives, they looked forward to many years together. However, when Dick was stricken with a series of life-threatening diseases that rendered him impotent, their relationship faced an unexpected challenge.

In this upbeat and romantic account of their soulful journey, Dick Squires describes how they matter-of-factly confronted their difficulties with courage and good humor.

One Moment at a Time is an engaging love story that addresses sensitive issues that affect millions of couples. By sharing his own personal experiences with refreshing frankness, Dick Squires shows others how to open avenues of meaningful discussion and self-expression to deepen intimacy and strengthen the sustaining bonds of marriage.
