Most of the other elderly patients she meets in the home's recreation room are kept docile and cooperative by the use of drugs. The only exception is Henry Downs, who, as Marjorie soon learns, avoids the diet of pills by collaborating with the nursing home's management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike most women her age, Marjorie has lived her life doing as she was told. But that changes following her brush with death, and as she fights her own paralysis, she strives to shake off the paralysis of the others. Little by little, the group comes to life until finally Marjorie galvanizes them into an all-out revolt. Even the sedentary Henry discovers that yes, there certainly can be not only life, but romance after 70.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Ziegler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0573710406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780573710407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel French, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Tom Ziegler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321604600063,"sku":"9780573710407","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_287ca5ef-1ee4-4494-9709-89dbd224080a.jpg?v=1696331751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-resort-tom-ziegler-9780573710407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
