Produktbeschreibung
Monday Afternoons at Three-Thirty is a heart-warming true story about the effects of lifelong marginalization on a woman and the efforts of one man to lessen its impact. Mary, a homebound octogenarian, is trapped in a life of isolation and reclusion. Ron, a middle-aged stranger, visits her every Monday afternoon, and over three years, a delightful, affectionate, and moving relationship develops between them. The story contrasts their bond with the disruptive presence of Frank, Mary's resentful younger brother, whose put-downs she bears daily. As the story unfolds, Mary's patience and courage in facing the effects of an early misfortune and the resulting social and emotional deprivation shine through. The honesty, trust and intimacy that develops over 150 visits transforms both their lives.

After two and a half years assisting late-stage chemically dependent individuals at the De Paul Center, he spent the final 23 years of his career as Assistant to the Director of the research arm of the School of Social Work at Portland State University. A prolific writer, Ron has self-published numerous reflections and essays on diverse topics, along with a researched memoir titled Fire in the Dark. In 2023, he completed Monday Afternoons at Three-Thirty and his first work of fiction, a play titled Redemption: An American Family Tragedy.
