If You Ever Need Me, I Won't Be Far Away is the heartfelt memoir of award-winning writer Bruce Farrell Rosen. As Rosen faces the unraveling of his marriage, he delves deeply into the nature of his greatest loves – for his psychic mother, his wife of 25 years, his two talented sons, music, world travel and exploration in all its forms. Rosen offers a road map for all of us who are struggling with life's momentous problems to come to terms with all that has been given us and to prepare for what may be in store. Ultimately, it is a book about joy, the memory of joy, and the joy we carry with us.

“Angels come in many disguises, and for me an angel took a bit of control of my life when I was about 25 years old. That angel, with a pipe dangling from his mouth devoid of front teeth; a nose that had to have been broken a couple of times; a full head of mussed up hair, once red, now almost completely gray… saw that I needed to make a bit of money, that I had the potential to be successful…” If You Ever Need Me, I Won’t Be Far Away

In these pages the author brings the reader with him on an often spellbinding, captivating journey of discovery, in which he reflects on his life’s journey. A financial officer by day and writer by night, Rosen’s work has been featured in The SF Chronicle, on the BBC and in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

“A fascinating memoir told with the immediacy of an intimate diary. A rich and spellbinding story.”
-- Maria Espinosa, American Book Award Winner for the novel, Longing.
