Now in his late nineties, Donald R. Fletcher continues to write, publishing seven books since 2003. Born in 1919, he grew up in Korea, is the son of Presbyterian medical missionaries, earned degrees at Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary, and served the Presbyterian Church in Chile, the Caribbean, and at headquarters. He also taught at high school, college, and university levels in New Jersey, Alabama, and Texas. In 2007 he moved to Lions Gate, a continuing care retirement community, with his wife, Martha, caring for her until her death from Alzheimer’s disease in 2014, an event reflected in this book.
