And, with a heartfelt happy ending, her enduring marriage to Gary Morton. Here is the lost manuscript that her fans and loved ones will treasure. Here is the laughter. Here is the life.

The man Lucille Ball called the brains of I Love Lucy gives us an inside view of television history as it was being made. Jess Oppenheimer's famous sitcom was the most popular and influential television phenomenon in the history of the medium. Forty-five years after its debut, it remains a favourite the world over.

This book was inspired by my nephew Gurvinder Singh. After his uncle passed, he knew that I was going through some difficult times in my life, so just about every day he would send me a pray. The prays always had meanings and at times were uplifting. I decided to put these kind words into a book to maybe help someone else. I hope you can appreciate this as I have. God Bless you.
