Will it work on my eReader?A celebration of the career of one of the most respected still photographers in the film industry of the 1970s and 1980s, this is the story of Charles “Chic” Stringer, written by his widow Margaret Rose. Written with a blend of humor and acuity, this work shares the career of the acclaimed photographer who worked on such films as Mad Max and Gone to Ground. It is intended for not only film buffs, but for those who, like Margaret Rose, are bereaved and alone. This work is not only a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the film and television industry, but it also provides insight into recovery after the loss of a life partner. An intimate and touching work about the power of the human spirit and our will to persevere, this work is, above all, the story of two people who were made for each other and of life after absolute loss.

"This book is an emotional experience as well as a good read for both men and women. It is funny, filled with life experiences that many of us can identify with, and touchingly sad. I didn’t want it to end." —Dianne McKissock, co-clinical director, the Bereavement C.A.R.E. Centre, Sydney
