An enchanting character study. Leila Day has a great eye for detail (the smell of a used bookstore, the bright pink lipstick and Mardis Gras beads), and though the narrative is subtle, the stakes were just enough to keep me listening.

  • Summary: It's one thing to make it to living in your nineties, and another to get to that age and still live independently at home. Bob and Terry Rohe have accepted the losses that come with age, but they refuse to accept not being able to spend the last of their years in the home they built together.
