"To have known and read this man over these years, reveals to me I knew nothing of what love could and should be."
-Edward Asner
"When this journal first appeared, I learned to keep a jumbo-size box of tissues at the ready. You will cry- and laugh-as Jim unwraps his unvarnished heart and soul. It will evoke memories of everyone who ever touched your heart and remind you to talk from your heart to the people who mean something to you."
-Russell Friedman, coauthor of The Grief Recovery Handbook and When Children Grieve
"Jim Beaver, the laconic character actor best known as the appealing prospector, "Ellsworth," on Deadwood has written a compassionate, funny, searing, and ultimately transcending memoir chronicling a year of tragedy, grief, and survival that would send the strongest of men, even an ex-marine and West Texas preacher's son, to their knees. As Jim puts it, "I'm no Job - though I think we went to the same school." That his story is so compulsively readable, inspiring, and ultimately hopeful is due entirely to Jim's bracing honesty, dry humor, and deeply felt humanity. Read this book, tell your friends about it, and then go hug your loved ones."
- Robert Schenkkan, Pulitzer Prize winner for The Kentucky Cycle.
