The Long Journey
by Marlowe "Red" Severson
Synopsis
In The Long Journey-Persevere: Let Kindness and Goodness Do the Rest, by Marlowe "Red" Severson, readers are introduced to the traumatic history of Ron Wilson, an aggressive young bully from a dysfunctional family who has decided, after one final altercation with his mother, that he must leave home.
As a discontented sixteen-year-old high school dropout working at menial, low-paying jobs, it is only natural that Ron should fall in with bad company. When robbery and murder enter the picture, Ron's life turns tragic, as he is incarcerated in Minnesota's Bridgewater Prison, a modern correctional facility employing a variety of humanitarian techniques to prepare prisoners for a successful return to society.
Regardless, Ron's public defender has determined through pretrial examination that his young client's problems were caused by the illness known as ADD-attention deficit disorder-which can strike at any time. This branch of knowledge, thoroughly researched by Ron's attorney, proves to be instrumental in the rehabilitation of Ron Wilson.
