Synopsis
What happens when the life you planned disappears—and Love asks something entirely different of you?
TWO MEN: A Journey into Love is Kris Selka's deeply personal memoir of a life shaped by immigration, addiction and sobriety, ambition and loss, spiritual awakening, and more than three decades beside the man he loves, Wayne.
Born in postwar Poland, Kris eventually defected to West Germany and came to America as a political refugee. What followed was a life he could never have predicted: business ventures, travel, collapse and rebuilding, years of recovery, and a relationship that would continually challenge his understanding of himself.
Then Wayne suffered a catastrophic spinal injury and became completely dependent on others for his physical care. Kris became his full-time caregiver. Their world grew smaller in geography and immeasurably larger in meaning.
This is not a book about pity.
It is about what can happen when resistance begins to give way to willingness; when surrender is understood not as resignation but acceptance; when gratitude becomes something practiced in the middle of fear rather than after fear has passed.
Written with humor, profanity, tenderness and an unwillingness to pretend that spiritual awakening makes life tidy, TWO MEN follows one man's continuing discovery that Love is found not somewhere beyond ordinary life, but directly within it.
A memoir about two men—and one man's journey toward understanding that Love was never his to possess, only to give and receive.
