• From Darkness into Life - Chapter 7
• We decided to go over Labor Day weekend. We’d have enough time, but not too much. We flew from Washington Dulles near our homes in suburban Virginia to Logan Airport in Boston. From there it was a short drive to Salem. Marcie’s mother lived in a modest one-bedroom apartment, about the same size as mine, but a lot more run down. It was in a lower to middle class neighborhood a bit too close to the town center for my tastes, but Marcie told me that her mother loved being there. She couldn’t afford a car so proximity to stores and shopping was important to her.
