Life on the Other Side of You - Book CoverMajor General Barrye Price is retired from the U.S. Army and happily married with a 9-year-old son he dotes on. But his new book, Life, On the Other Side of You: A Study of Life, Death, and Renewal, isn't about his wife and son – at least not at first glance. It's about his first wife, a woman named Elaine to whom he was married for 15 years and whom he met at the University of Houston.

Price talks about his journey through grief and finding love again.
