A Bachelor Again

A Bachelor Again is a true fictionalized story of a thirty-year-old bachelor that has just now completed his four-year service obligation with the United States Air Force. He has now returned to his home in North Dakota, where he will join his brother in a family owned business. Gary's story begins one night while at a local cowboy bar with a dance hall. Here he meets and asks a beautiful young woman to dance. For him, on that small dance floor, it was love at first sight even after she told him of her four young children from a previous marriage. Gary had no clue what he was getting himself in to and how his carefree bachelor days were about to change forever. This story was written by Gary, the bachelor, when he felt such pain at the time while going through his first divorce. He had no idea how painful a divorce could be and found writing about the experience would somehow help him ease his pain. Based upon his story any bachelor without children and all divorcees with children contemplating marriage to a single man without children should read this book. It chronicles the problems that will arise when a ready-made family is included in the marriage. Gary's marriage may have failed, but he acknowledges that other marriages like his won't fail. This story was written over forty years ago and covers the period from the day of their marriage until the final divorce decree. Last year Gary took the manuscript off the shelf and then read it again after all those years. After reading it once again he decided it would be a good read for both men and women contemplating marriage with a partner that has a ready-made family. Out of their divorce Gary came away with four adopted children, which have been a blessing to him. He loves them as his own children.
