From beloved inaugural Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner, an uplifting memoir about a fresh start after heartbreak and a juicy peek behind the reality TV curtain.
Gerry Turner's life changed forever when his high school sweetheart, and wife of over forty years, Toni passed away unexpectedly right after her retirement. Together, the inseparable pair had been laying out plans for their golden years, finally able to relax and take a step back after decades working and raising their two daughters. In that moment, the carefully constructed picture Gerry had of the rest of his life shattered.
After years of grieving and attending valuable counselling sessions, Gerry felt ready to find not just another woman to live with, but the next woman he couldn't live without. He wanted to take on new adventures and seize each day, even without Toni by his side. When he was selected to star in ABC's The Golden Bachelor, he had no idea what was to come.
In GOLDEN YEARS, Gerry chronicles his grief after Toni's death, his unbelievable experiences on The Golden Bachelor, and the important if painful lessons he took away from both. In this book, he offers not only behind-the-scenes insights into the filming of the show, but the hard-won rules he lived by when putting himself out there again.
