Sometimes Lonely Never Alone Bob Smith

While most his age were concerned with high school romances and the Friday night sock hops, young Ben Stark was grieving the loss of both parents and coping with the adult-sized problem of running a huge ranching operation. Facing such realities, it is no surprise that his early life is a mixture of depression, anxiety, and despair. A devoted Christian, Ben's faith is tested that a loving God would allow such turmoil in a life so dedicated. This is the story of how he coped, the people who helped him along the way, and his growth despite the many unexpected and unfortunate circumstances that clouded his life. The book is about stumbling, falling, and getting up again. In these pages, Ben shares the mindset that kept him going, and ultimately led to successes in his community and beyond. Late in life, when he least expected it, Ben discovered romance. He met and married Donna, who added dimension to his life. She was the catalyst in bringing to the surface ambitions long lost and almost forgotten.
