"Mike Fairmont was a happy man and a blessed man, a special man to his family and friends alike. Journeys from a Boy to a Man is written as a testimony to the author's husband. It's touching, funny, and well written. Mike's childhood is outlined through the eyes of a woman who loved him thoroughly. Their marriage was an example of intimacy that most of us can only aspire to. Linda was a lucky in romance lady."--Cynthia Whitten, Romance Reader At Heart

Introduction I suppose if man were to compose his thoughts, his journeys from the day he was born to the day of his death, he would undoubtedly have many travels to tell and some to even boast of. His conquests, his adventures, misadventures, love life, love affairs--the list would run forever, and no matter what man wrote concerning his saga, or his tall tale, every word that he put in that manuscript would be different than the next. For throughout one's life, no two stories could ever be the same or carry such potential value as those of the man who has lived his own story. Each story would have a unique beginning and untimely ending. Those fortunate to be born indeed have to face, at some point, death. There is no escaping and no place to run and hide once a man's number has been called. While birth begins man's traveling days; the ticket that is handed out can only be used for the time he has scheduled to spend on earth. The choices should be wise in everything that he sets out to accomplish. With his days, he has laughter, pain, sorrow, and any emotion that he might encounter in his travels. There are loves found and loves lost. But whatever journey man happens upon, it is sure to be a book, in a shell of its own.
