Uphill' is the final book in the Don Walker series. This story looks in on the lives of the principal characters some thirty years after the second book (Grab an Egg and Shave It). Don struggles with depression and significant health issues. His daughter Lisa, now married and raising a seven-year-old of her own, runs her own business as an interior decorator and designer.


Because of good faith efforts to assist one of Lisa's clients, both she and her husband Rob become targets of a ruthless and predatory businessman with a broad reach, who threatens Rob's livelihood and her family's future. Struggling to balance the needs of her father's care with her own busy family life, she attempts to renew relationships between her father and his wayward sister, Leslie, with uneven results.


"Uphill" is a story of life's challenges and personal struggle, when there is no guarantee of a good outcome.
