Reseña del editor:

What would you do if you saw your best friend for 60 years slipping over the edge into mental oblivion? You would do anything to help him, right? Frank and Clay have been friends since the first day of first grade. Now both in their mid-sixties and retired, Frank is looking forward to spending a lot of quality time hanging out with his lifelong friend. But all that is threatened when Frank sees Clay going around the bend.

Clay denies he has a problem and rejects Frank's initial suggestions for help. But when Frank stumbles upon a drug that might help, he renews his efforts to help his buddy and he talks Clay into taking the drug. That works great, for a while. But Frank couldn't quite bring himself to tell Clay the entire truth about the drug, and that deception has tragic consequences, not only for Clay but also for Frank.

Reseña del editor:

After 65-year-old retired-attorney Frank finds Clay savagely beating his own dog, he struggles to save his lifelong friend from sinking further into insanity and its tragic consequences. Frank's wife, Lucille, adapts to aging with a quiet grace that Frank cannot quite learn to embrace. Dirt-poor farmers Will and Annie find a simple dignity in coping with her terminal illness, but Clay refuses to accept their choices. From pharmacist Matt, Frank acquires information critical for helping Clay, but Frank has to decide whether to use that knowledge. Two Friends, Too Old is grounded in friendship, even as it explores the darker edges of growing old and becoming dangerously selfish. It is about how fate shapes our lives, and the consequences of lies, even told for the best of reasons. Frank desperately wants to prevent what seems inevitable, but as his sweet young granddaughter, Shelley, gets caught in the middle, the choices narrow and Frank runs out of time.
