Things weren't going exactly as I'd planned. I was still following my three rules. Don't get close, never fall in love, and always have fun. It was just getting a bit harder to follow them. I'd had plenty of fun with the ballplayer, but it needed to stop. My life was changing, and it was time for me to come to terms with a few things. There would be no more having fun for us. I would not be having fun with anyone. Too many things were happening, and I needed time to think. I was pregnant. It happened the very first time we were together. When I say very first time, I mean the day we met. What were the chances? Could it really happen? It sure could. I was a perfect example of that. Imagine telling that one to the baby one day. Neither of us wanted love, and we surely didn't want a relationship. He had a career that was not even close to being over. The man was the star pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I was a girl with a past. There was no way our worlds would ever fit together. I just had to figure out what to do. Would I tell him? Of course I would. I just wasn't sure how I was going to make that happen. I also had no idea how he was going to react to the news. Just when I thought I could do it, I opened the door to the biggest sign and reality check ever. Part 5, the final part, will be available September 6, 2016.

From Pulitzer Prize winner Amanda Bennett comes a moving, eye-opening, and beautifully written memoir - a love story of two unusual people, their complex marriage and deep devotion, and finally, Bennett’s quest to save her husband’s life. When Wall Street Journal reporter Amanda Bennett meets the eccentric, infuriating, yet somehow irresistible Terence Bryan Foley while on assignment in China, the last thing she expects is to marry him. They are so different - classic and bohemian, bow ties and batik, quirky and sensible. But Terence is persistent. “You are going to be somebody,” he tells her. “You’re going to need somebody to take care of you.” Though initially as combative as their courtship, their marriage brings with it stormy passion, deep love and respect, two beloved children, and a life together over two decades. Then comes illness, and the fight to win a longer life for Terence. "The Cost of Hope" chronicles the extraordinary measures Amanda and Terence take to preserve not only Terence’s life but also the life of their family. After his death, Bennett uses her skills as a veteran investigative reporter to determine the cost of their mission of hope. What she discovers raises important questions many people face, and vital issues about the intricacies of America’s healthcare system. Rich in humor, insight, and candor, "The Cost of Hope" is an unforgettable memoir, an inspiring personal story that sheds light on one of the most important turning points in life. Views: 14
