Marjorie wants a friend who loves the same things she does: baking
shows, knitting, and gardening. Someone like Granny. So with a sprinkle
of flour in her hair and a spritz of lavender perfume, Marjorie goes
undercover to the local Senior Citizens Group. It all goes well until
the Cha-Cha-Cha starts and her cardigan camouflage goes sideways. By
being true to herself, Marjorie learns that friends can be of any age if
you look in the right places.
