Looks Easy Enough: A Joyful Memoir of Overcoming Disease, Divorce, and Disaster

by Scott Stevenson

Overview

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, watching their house - he spent the last three years building - turn to ash in California's largest recorded forest fire, and painfully witnessing their retirement money go down the drain in the largest market crash since the Great Depression. Yet, through it all, 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 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.

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.
