Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the small upstate New York town of Dolgeville, Ginny Hale grows up believing that endurance is a form of virtue. Raised in a household shaped by silence, discipline, and unspoken expectation, she learns early how to be useful, how to comply, and how to carry what others cannot. When illness alters her future and marriage becomes a site of control and violence, Ginny's life narrows to survival. Motherhood deepens both her love and her fear, binding her to a man whose charm masks cruelty and whose instability threatens everything she is trying to protect. Leaving is not dramatic. It is dangerous, quiet, and delayed-until the cost of staying becomes unmistakable. Even if the Memory Fades traces Ginny's life from constraint to escape, from endurance to choice. After she leaves, she rebuilds slowly-through work, care, and the steady work of raising her children in safety. Years later, as dementia begins to loosen her grasp on time and detail, what remains is not trauma, but love, dignity, and the legacy of a woman who broke a cycle. Told in restrained, intimate prose, Even if the Memory Fades is a novel about survival transformed into self-preservation, about motherhood as resistance, and about what endures when memory itself begins to fade.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Set against the backdrop of rural poverty, fractured family systems, and quiet endurance. The novel follows Daniel Harper, a man who grows up carrying adult responsibility to early. After leaving school at sixteen to support his family, Daniel builds a life defined by duty - marriage, fatherhood, and professional success - while suppressing a truth he cannot yet face. In his thirties, returning to higher education forces him to confront his sexuality, ultimately dismantling the life he has carefully constructed and compelling him to rebuild on honest ground. In, later life, Daniel finds peace not in triumph but in presence - watching his grandchildren play, finally at home in himself. A Long Way Home is a quiet, deeply human story of survival giving way to truth. A Long Way Home examines masculinity, silence, late - in- life realization, and the generational impact of poverty and trauma. It will appeal to readers of intimate, character-driven fiction such as the work of Andrew Sean Greer, Douglas Stuart, and Ocean Vuong, particularly those drawn to stories of quiet transformation rather than dramatic spectacle.George Markwardt the author of this novel writes from lived experience, caregiving, and late - found identity.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Addiction Affliction: A Non-User's Handbook for Healing gives voice to those who love someone with addiction-and are quietly consumed by it.While most addiction narratives focus on the person using, this book turns its attention to the partners, parents, and loved ones who absorb the emotional, financial, and psychological fallout. Through clear-eyed analysis and deeply realistic composite examples, Addiction Affliction explores how addiction erodes reality, normalizes deceit, manufactures codependency, and quietly transfers responsibility to the people who stay.This is not a book about blame. It does not deny addiction as a disease. Instead, it examines how the language of disease is often misused to negotiate boundaries, excuse harm, and silence those living beside addiction. With honesty and restraint, George Markwardt dismantles the myths that keep non-users trapped in cycles of hope, guilt, and self-erasure.Written for those who have waited, endured, and sacrificed, Addiction Affliction offers validation without cruelty-and clarity without illusion. It affirms a truth rarely spoken aloud: loving someone with addiction does not require losing yourself. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. America's Poverty TrapAmerica's Poverty Trap argues that modern poverty in the United States is not the result of laziness, poor morals, or individual failure-but the predictable outcome of systems that have shifted risk downward and turned basic survival into a profit center.The book reframes the American Dream not as wealth, but as stability: the ability to work, pay basic bills, absorb small shocks, and move forward over time. Markwardt contends that this promise has quietly collapsed-not because people stopped working, but because the cost of survival now exceeds what work reliably provides.
