Falling on the Bright Side

In “Falling on the Bright Side”, social worker Larry Whitton watches as his livelihood, family life, and self-esteem all slip away. But new opportunities will open–if Larry can risk taking them—-through collaboration with psychologist Bill Foster, whose stroke has prevented him from continuing his counseling practice. If Larry, who is blind to the opportunities of life, and Bill, whose stroke has robbed him of his ability to work independently, were to join their strengths and weaknesses . . .
The situations in this story mirror those of many disabled and elderly in our society, who are carted off to nursing homes once they cannot keep up the pace.
“Falling on the Bright Side”, Gray’s third book, draws on two decades working with “Friends in Time”—a non-profit he co-founded with friend and ALS-victim Foster Hall—to serve others with neuromuscular diseases. Their real world collaboration is the inspiration for this work of fiction
