| The title of this book is not a metaphor. A Dying Place by Morris L. Striplin takes place in the Fellowes Foundation, a private institution devoted to caring for the sick. Within the foundation there are separate facilities dedicated to the treatment of terminal illnesses. Some patients undergo therapy and are cured - their lives extended. Others eventually succumb to disease; and with the help of specialized staff, a hospice unit, and the support of other patients, face death with dignity.
All who enter are changed. Saul Benjamin is admitted to Fellowes Foundation to receive an experimental treatment for his recurring cancer. Without the treatment, he will certainly die. An old Jewish man with a stiff backbone, proud opinions, and brash attitude, he enters Fellowes angry, uncertain, and tangled in an emotionally disturbing connection with his daughter. Saul is thrown into relationships with three gentleman patients. These four men endure treatments together, learn how to live together, and how to die together. Because of the story's setting, expect to shed a few tears. However, remember that this story brings hope not only for cures but also for the emotional and spiritual revelations that come in the face of death. Morris L. Striplin creates unique characters - flawed and lovable. He introduces them layer by layer, keeping reader interest piqued. Expect wonderful surprises as characters unfold. This unique premise is a refreshing change. Although death will come for all of us, the time, circumstances, and location remain a mystery. For most, the unknown inspires fear. Do not be afraid to read A Dying Place. It is a touching story, tastefully told, that will leave a lasting positive effect. | |||
