A Second Journey |
Seniors
and
their
sexuality
is
the
subject
of
John
Anthony
Chestara's
romantic
tale
of
a
widow
and
widower,
both
in
their
mid-sixties,
whose
love
affair
is
complicated
by
their
children,
memories
of
their
deceased
spouses
and
very
different
marriages.
"A
Second
Journey"
is
an
important
work
of
fiction
because
it
addresses
an
issue
that
many
seniors
are
reluctant
to
openly
discuss;
dating
and
their
sexual
desires
after
the
death
of
a
spouse,"
according
to
the
publisher,
Patricia
Sealy
of
Highbridge
Press.
"As
more
adults
of
the
Baby
Boomer
generation
progress
toward
their
sixties
and
seventies,
they
should
know
that
their
sexual
expression
can
be
a
positive
aspect
of
their
lives
and
that
there
is
no
age
limit
for
healthy
sexual
function
or
satisfaction,"
she
said.

Chestara,

York,
is
75
years
old.
He
was
born
in
July,

Everything
was
fine
for
the
first
three
years,
he
says,
but
then
came
the
Great
Depression.
By
the
time
that
was
nearly
over,
World
War
II
had
begun.
John,
15
1/2
years
old
at
the
time,
coerced
his
parents
and
joined
the
Navy.
He
was
on
his
first
submarine,
USS
Bonefish,
when
he
was
sixteen,
and
was
on
his
seventh
"seek
and
sink"
patrol
when
the
dropping
of
the
atomic
bomb
ended
the
war.
He
met
his
wife,
Gladys,
on
July
2,
1950.
They
eloped
and
were
married
24
days
later.
They
have
three
children,
two
grandchildren,
and

in
Valley
Falls,

and
in
public
relations,

wrote
A
Second
Journey,
his
first
novel.

Here
is
what
one
reviewer
said:
A
must
read
for
seniors.,
December
7,
2001
Reviewer:
Teresa
Delgaudio
from
Clifton
Park
New
York
This
is
a
very
good
story
especially
for
seniors.
It
will
give
them
a
different
outlook
on
life,
show
them
that
their
life
isn't
over
and
there
is
still
a
lot
of
living
to
do.
I
couldn't
put
it
down
until
I
finished,
and
I'll
read
it
again.
