Items related to Amos : To Ride A Dead Horse
A sports legend resides in a nursing home who encounters and unexpected life journey.
West’s AMOS is an imposing landscape of human drama and emotion – hear-rendering, timeless, hilarious, stunning, joyful, - an incredible story, a book that rips readers early and late, a novel they don’t want to end... a page turner with heart, a joy to read, a treasure to cherish.
Ever so often, indifference and neglect mutate into unmitigated evil and then humanity goes on trial. Rarely, someone stands in the breach and shouts “No” with only courage and dignity as weapons. Amos was a man who thought he’s experienced all that life had to offer, when with a capricious turn of fate, he fell through the cracks of society’s institutions, in to the merciless cogwheels of human apathy and carelessness. His struggle not only to survive, but, to overcome is a compelling testimony to the inner strength and irrepressible spirit of man. Against devastating odds and arrogant brutality, Amos finds a triumph he never expected.

From the Publisher:
West's Amos is an imposing landscape of human drama and emotion--heart-rending, timeless, hilarious, stunning, joyful--an incredible story, a book that grips readers early and late, young and old, a novel they don't want to end...a page-turner with heart, a joy to read, a treasure to cherish.
From the Author:
Amos has been out of print for close to fourteen years and yet it has not been forgotten. We have received countless requests for the novel over the years, and now we are extremely pleased to bring out this gorgeous trade paperback edition of the enduring novel. The story was produced as a CBS Movie of the Week featuring Kirk Douglas as Amos with Elizabeth Montgomery as Daisy Daws. Supporting actors included Dorothy McGuire, Pat Morita, Ray Ralston and Fred Coffin. The movie received four Emmy nominations, one for story. The book and film sparked a national controversy over the treatment of the aged in America.
Stanley Gordon West was born in St. Paul, MN and grew up during the Great Depression and the World War II years. He graduated from Central High School in 1950 and attended Macalester College and the University of Minnesota, earning a degree in history and geology in 1955. He moved from the midwest to Montana in 1964 where he raised a large family. Stanley wrote several novels, including AMOS: To Ride a Dead Horse, which was produced as a CBS Movie of the Week starring Kirk Douglas, Elizabeth Montgomery and Dorothy McGuire and was nominated for four Emmys. You Are My Sunshine was his last work before his passing in 2015.
