The arrival of two wonderful daughters does a great deal to make up for Stan’s feeling obliged to bring his painting career to an untimely end, but all his efforts to save his marriage prove futile. Perchance to Dream, the sixth and final book in the six-part Hindsights series charts the slow disintegration of that doomed relationship. Fortunately, Stan has by this time discovered the therapeutic value that writing has had for him in his life’s crises. Now, with two small children depending on him, he sorely needs a swift recovery – without the help of booze. Writing about his crisis helps him structure his thoughts, deal with his problems and achieve a new and stronger will to live. With Bob again cheering him on, Stan feels prepared for a whole new life. Love comes to him totally unexpectedly, serendipitously, delightfully, in the form of Karin. It feels almost too good to be true. Now, after more than 33 years of growing love and harmony, the test of time has been well and truly passed. Although the narrative of Perchance to Dream ends at the close of 1988, it is followed by an Afterword that ties up some of the loose ends and brings several narrative threads up to date. Stan began working on material for Hindsights some 43 years before completing it. Most of this work was done between 2007 and 2021. Enjoy!
