Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) March 21, 2013

Adventures With Dad: A Father and Daughter’s Journey Through a Senior Acting Class, is a memoir by first-time author, Lee Gale Gruen. It begins when she retired at the age of 60 from her 37-year career as a Probation Officer. Just as a pastime, she started attending a senior theater class at a community program for older adults. Her mother died a few weeks later, so she invited her grief-stricken father, age 85, to come to the class with her.

With humor and emotion, Lee Gale recounts this true story of their magical journey attending that class together for three years and bonding more than at any time in their lives. Lee Gale wrote the comedy scenes they performed onstage twice a year in the class showcases. The father-and-daughter team became a popular item with the adoring audiences. Included in the book are all six scenes along with her motivation and the process of writing them, rehearsing them with her dad, and gathering the props.

Lee Gale eventually transitioned from the class to become a professional actress. As her fledgling, second career started going uphill, her dad's health started going downhill. Nevertheless, their paths continued to merge over their shared interest in acting. Lee Gale would describe to him each of her new experiences while she sat beside his bed at the nursing home where he resided in his final years.
