A story about the people who stay with us long after they are gone. We all have a story, but few of us have a witness. For Preston Clarke, that witness was David Bales. In this moving account of an improbable bond, a writer and an elder navigate the complexities of memory, truth, and the weight of "unfinished business." Through hours of conversation and years of research, a vivid portrait emerges of a man who lived through some of the most defining moments of the twentieth century, only to face his greatest challenges in the quiet hallways of a retirement home. Inside this book, you will find: A Masterclass in Empathy: The evolving relationship between a caregiver/writer and a man facing his final chapter. The Search for Truth: A journey into military records and family secrets to find a son lost to time. A Tribute to the "Ordinary": A celebration of a life lived with integrity, even when no one was watching. Preston is a heart-wrenching, ultimately hopeful exploration of what it means
