Before The Sun Sets and They Are Forgotten is a non-fiction book written by Paul Samuels and just recently published. Paul interviewed local elders for this book and dedicated a chapter to each of them. Each chapter contains a color photo of the elder, a brief biography, reflections about their accomplishments in life, things that they were proud of or regretted, beliefs that they developed over their lifetime and advice for younger generations. The ages of the elders interviewed ranged from sixty-nine to ninety-six. The formal education of those interviewed ranged from high school dropouts to PH.Ds and careers ranged from stay-at-home mothers to university professors.
The elders universally enjoyed sharing their stories and their wisdom. Some of the stories were incredibly touching and inspirational. Readers will find the elders’ advice to be thought provoking and be moved to evaluate their own belief systems about what is truly important in life.
Paul Samuels works full-time as an investment advisor in Wellesley. He conducted the interviews and wrote Before The Sun Sets and They Are in his spare time between 2012 and 2015. Paul lives in Charlton with his darling wife Loralee Dubeau.
