Jake's marriage fell apart like many others do. Too much time away, too much time spent with women other than his wife, and a gnawing dissatisfaction with the quality of their relationship. It spiraled until..."At a certain point in my life, I was bouncing solidly off the bottom - only to hit it again a little harder just to prove how much of a wreck I was...(my wife)deserved better and rightfully told me, 'This isn't what I signed up for.' "As the door of his home of 20 years closed firmly behind him, he half-heartedly set up his new life in a barren townhouse and moved forward one small step at a time. With wit, compassion and a great eye for irony, "Things I Heard While Falling in Love" tells the tale of rebuilding his life as Jake learned to date - and love - again.
