This is a story I never thought
I would tell. It is the story of a love,
the love I shared with a man who came
into my life almost surreptitiously,
a man who loved me in the most
complete way and then died. If he
had not died, I would not be telling
this story…
Writer and editor Edie Clark was not
expecting love to enter her life in the
form of a young carpenter named Paul
Bolton. She was facing the realities of
a failing marriage, while Paul was a shy,
gentle but sometimes troubled man.
Yet together they nurtured a love and
built a married life as beautiful and
enduring as the places Paul restored, the
cabinets he crafted. And in the time they
shared, they would find extraordinary
grace and strength, and see their lives
transformed by the power of love.
The Place He Made follows in the
distinguished tradition of
Death Be Not Proud as one of the
most unforgettable personal memoirs
of love and loss in many years.
Reissued by popular demand
and updated with an all-new chapter,
written nearly twenty years after
Paul's death, giving perspective
to this enduring story.
