What happens when the little boy who has always known he belongs on a stage grows up, gets lost along the way, and spends decades trying to find his way back?
Daddle-Doo is the true-life story of LR Longmire-a funny, candid, sometimes outrageous journey from a wildly imaginative childhood in Devils Lake, North Dakota, through the twists and turns of adulthood, and ultimately toward a life that begins to look remarkably like the one he dreamed about as a boy.
As a child, Louie turns a basement into a theater, a backyard into an island, and an old bicycle into whatever vehicle his imagination requires. He is a natural entertainer, a storyteller, a rabble-rouser, and a kid who is constantly pushing the limits. His father's favorite command when he has finally had enough is Daddle-Doo!-a childhood mystery that Louie eventually discovers means, quite simply, That will do.
But that will do never quite works for Louie.
Deep inside, he knows he is meant to do something more. Yet life has other plans. Marriage, divorce, careers, moves, disappointments, friendships, spiritual discoveries, and the ordinary demands of making a living carry him far from the stage he has imagined since childhood.
Then, in his late fifties, sitting in a truck in the frozen Wisconsin woods and testing dirt for a living, he finally has to ask himself: How did I get here-and what happened to the life I was meant to live?
What follows is a journey of rediscovering purpose, trusting intuition, confronting old beliefs about worthiness, embracing love, and learning to recognize the opportunities that appear when we finally dare to follow the voice inside us.
Funny, irreverent, deeply personal, and ultimately uplifting, Daddle-Doo is a story about family, dreams, faith, friendship, forgiveness, love, and the extraordinary possibility of becoming the person you always knew you could be.
Because sometimes the life you thought you missed is still waiting for you.
