Goodnight, Whoever You Are

By Victoria Cooke

Photographer Liz Greene thought her life was picture-perfect. She’d married her childhood best friend and they had a beautiful little boy. But something was wrong. Had Liz lost her focus? Her husband, Marty, felt different on the inside from how he looked on the outside. In a flash, the marriage was over.

Whether your spouse cheats, dies, lies, wants a change, something different, or simply leaves, it’s out of your control. Liz’s divorce was the death of a dream, and a tragedy that affected everyone involved.

Liz reluctantly gets a divorce (while maintaining a lifelong friendship with Marty), and finds herself a single mom. As she enters the dating world, love comes calling twice: once with a darkly handsome ER physician, and again with his antithesis, the Cowboy Preacher.

Saddled with a mother whose Alzheimer’s confines her to a wheelchair and a father whose Parkinson’s disease makes him a shaky chauffeur, Liz must make decisions she never thought she’d have to face.

Full of surprises, colorful friends, offbeat relatives, and aging parents, Goodnight, Whoever You Are is a story about dealing with life’s unexpected twists and turns with a huge dose of humor and an acceptance of life’s responsibilities with grace and gratitude.

From The Desk of Victoria Cooke

Thank you for taking the time to look through my website.  I wrote the first draft of “Goodnight Whoever You Are” when I was tucking my mother in for the night. They lived with me.  She had Alzheimer’s disease. I told her “goodnight” and she said, “Oh, goodnight…” I thought to myself, “whoever you are” because she didn’t know who I was. That was eighteen years ago.

I wrote this book to keep myself sane. I laughed and cried while writing it. I hope you do the same.
