Summary
LOOKS EASY ENOUGH is a work of narrative non-fiction recounting a four
year period in the author’s life where at the age of forty-six he marries for the first
time, retires, and moves with his bride to a small mountain town to live the simple
life. Instead, he finds himself supporting his wife through cancer, helping his
sister through a grueling four year divorce from an abusive husband, painfully
witnessing their retirement money circle the drain in the biggest stock market
crash since the Great Depression, and watching as a thousand foot wall of dense
smoke and raging flames (the Cedar Fire - San Diego, California) approaches
their home – the home they spent the last three years building themselves. With
the flames less than a hundred yards from their back door they realize, they
could lose everything. Yet through it all – cancer, divorce, market crashes, and
forest fires - the author ultimately sees the events for what they really are . . . and
comes out smiling.
The refrain, “looks easy enough” is the author’s general attitude towards life’s
many processes – from breast reconstruction (cancer) to pouring concrete
foundations to filing legal documents. It is also intended as an empowering
affirmation to inspire readers with the confidence that they, too, can tackle even
the most disheartening of life’s challenges and land on their feet.
The book is a tale of love, adventure, personal growth, a do-it-yourself story
and a comedy all rolled into one compulsively readable volume.
About the Author
Looks Easy Enough is Scott Stevenson’s first book. The book is based on his personal experiences and on a lifetime of asking questions, keeping his eyes and ears open, and trying to figure out what makes this funny world of ours go round. Scott, his wife Susan, and their feisty young tabby Little Ray live in the small mountain town of Julian, California. Scott’s future plans include carving a totem pole recounting the story of how he and Susan met and working on his tennis game in an effort to become the oldest person (over 60) to obtain an ATP tennis ranking.
