Stepping Off the Curb

By Terry D. Casteel

Terry Casteel, a retired winemaker in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, opens up his accumulated experiences in this memoir of life before and after being diagnosed at the age of 57 with Parkinson's disease. Through reminiscing on family life and eventually building a wine business in Oregon, Terry takes the reader through a series of vignettes important in his life: a trip to South America when he was in graduate school; deciding to have a family; and the many trials and surgeries related to living with Parkinson's. With poetry and prose, Terry examines the pieces of his life to see how they fit together to create meaning, as one path appears to come to an end and the unknown lies ahead, with the next milestone waiting for him to step off the curb.This version of the book contains color photographs.
