Faced with moving into a retirement community, Helena struggles to adjust her expectations, even as Julie, the activities director, wrangles her into volunteering as a patient advocate for Zak, a college freshman, also alone and struggling in this intergenerational novel of the friendship that blossoms between two people on opposite ends of life's journey.
