105 Steps takes the reader on an emotionally charged journey spanning 51 years and 5 continents. Written bedside as his wife Glen fights for her life, the tragedy of hospital ICU (in real time), is juxtaposed against the adventurous, romantic recollections of the author as a young 1970's backpacker from Australia, travelling through South Africa, UK and Europe, Hawaii and mainland USA, Canada, Mexico and Australia. Aged, and faced with the prospect of losing his wife, Trigwell paints an enthralling saga with incredible detail and clarity as he recalls not just his youthful and exotic travels, but their entire relationship together. The two timelines (hospital and recollections over 51 years) are cleverly intertwined, drawing the reader along with descriptive imagery and emotion drenched pages. Trigwell's style is raw and colourful with a writing rhythm akin to a musical accompaniment.
Life's inescapable highs and lows are revealed and life lessons are learnt, as 105 Steps morphs from a tale of bohemian backpacking into the maelstrom of marriage, parenthood, business, success, failure, births, deaths and family crises. This is a story of a family leaning on each other in times of great stress and uncertainty. With each devastating medical setback ... love, and a constant sense of positivity hold the author and his family together. This is a story of hope, a story of faith, but ultimately, a story of love. 105 Steps shows how, even when confronted with a terrible scenario, a wonderful future can always be had.
This book will appeal to people facing challenges, particularly health challenges. !05 Steps will provide inspiration and hope to people who may be struggling with adversity or who may be faced with (what they see as) insurmountable obstacles. Nurses, Carers, Doctors, Specialists and even a Neurosurgeon have privately left very favourable reviews.
