He likes making friends, playing cards and bingo. His life is lackadaisical except for one troubling matter ― he's been carrying a burdensome secret for most of his adult life and wants to free his conscience, but doesn't know how. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMavis is a young woman in a complicated marriage. She plays ball and attends church, sometimes both on the same day. She doesn't want or need to make a new connection, especially one with the old guy her husband invites home to play cribbage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlaying cards with Murray becomes a regular practice, and despite attempts to avoid a close attachment, Mavis grows fond of him. Their developing friendship follows a path that neither imagined it could lead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne night, Murray is attacked while walking home with a wad of bingo winnings in his pocket. The assault triggers memories he'd sooner remain buried, but the past comes back to bite him. Events from years ago expose what happened to Amanda, which could change everything between him and Mavis ― unless they learn the essence of what it takes to remain true friends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFriendship is the soul's answer to connect with someone who leads where you can't take yourself.\u003c\/b\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012687446155,"sku":"9781777776596","price":31.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/TwRPx8oY7R9781777776596.webp?v=1779101423","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/about-an-old-guy-a-novel-about-friendship-redemption-and-facing-the-past-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
