In this witty, warm novel by award-winning author Corinne Demas,
unexpected changes bring two retirees together on a voyage of
self-discovery from past regrets to the true meaning of happily ever
after.
Widower Noah Shilling considers Clarion Court to be less an independent
living community and more a prison. But there may be hope for the place
yet. The newest resident is bold, eccentric, rule-breaking Cassandra
Joyce--whom, as it turns out, Noah met long ago in college.
As Noah and Cassandra get reacquainted, major changes at Clarion Court
force them both to reevaluate their living situation. When Noah invites
Cassandra to rough it with him at his Cape Cod cottage, the old friends
must decide whether they should risk embarking on the next stage of
their journey together.
But moving forward means coming to terms with the past and relying on
each other to do so, which is something the stubbornly independent pair
may not be ready for. They've come this far on their own, and unless
they can reconcile a lifetime of emotional baggage, the road they
started down together may lead instead to parted ways.
