Inhaltsangabe

In a St. Louis memory care center, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, two unlikely people run afoul of each other. And somehow, despite their faults and bad intentions, almost inexplicably … they fall in love. If it happens to you, remember how Helen and Frank found joy in their imperfect lives.

Frank Palermo in this story lived in a memory support complex in 2020. From March to September of 2020, Frank basically was confined to his apartment. Helen, a penniless widow, moved into Frank’s complex in September and changed his life.

The viral infection we know as Covid-19 has been the defining event of 2020, perhaps the defining event of our lifetimes. The disease has disheartened older people. Growing old is often an ordeal, but the thought of being stalked by Covid-19 adds untold fear and anxiety to that ordeal. Institutionalized older people have been especially vulnerable. We can estimate the death toll from Covid-19, and we can count suicides among the anxious and depressed population.

The story of Helen and Frank aims to put a human face on the extraordinary year of 2020.

And added bonus:

• “Read the first chapter of the new book about Helen and Frank : Marinated Money—a Helen and Frank story included at the end of the book.
