The Other Side of the Kneeler

Dr. David Paine was the proud father of six and an in-house psychiatrist for a fine wine importer based in North Texas. His life changed forever with the divorce of his schoolyard sweetheart. He begins a normal day with a simple plan to do nagging household fix-ups and enjoy a friendly game of golf. Unwelcome surprises change that plan and land him in his friend's funeral home along with his former teacher from "Our Lady of the Bad Haircut" Elementary School. Together they share three final days of earthly awareness navigating the unknowns of being dead while preparing their souls for something more. David's words breathe life into the first person narrative comedy. He shares his unique perspective on these dual tragedies while negotiating the escalating fallout linked to two of life's most shocking events. Throughout the ordeal he remains eternally thankful for the divine preservation of his offbeat sense of humor.
