Sunday Afternoons and Other Times Remembered: A Memoir - Paperback
by Ben Ewell (Author)
On the afternoon of Easter Sunday, 1992, Ben Ewell's brother, sister-in-law, and niece were all murdered. While trying to make sense of this staggering tragedy, Ben can't help but think back through his life: the hard work and the many peaceful Sunday afternoons growing up on his family farm in Ohio in a house without a bathroom or running water; his high school antics in the 1950s; his time in Haight-Ashbury while attending law school in 1960s San Francisco; and the highs and lows, both personal and professional, of life after school. Threaded throughout these reminiscences, Ben reveals the details of the investigation of his family members' murders--and the arrest and trial of the parties involved.
In this decades-long saga, there is marriage and divorce, love and loss, family and friendship; there are political campaigns and business ventures, some failed and some fruitful. Ultimately, this is a story of perseverance in the face of tragedy, of creating opportunities out of problems, and of appreciating the gift of life and the world around us--with some humor along the way.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
