In this memoir concerning the final years of a man's life, the title, "Almost Home," suggests the end is near.

Not for Larry Gamble.

He raises the ante by asking, "Is that all there is? Really?"

Gamble's intriguing adventures capture the reader's attention with unique experiences from discovering his Iowa home is potentially haunted, to his love of restoring a New York-style Checker Cab, from preserving historic buildings to confronting cancer.

Talk about "roads less traveled," Gamble keeps moving forward no matter what, with little respect for the "end" of anything, especially his life!
