Jan Jordan is having a birthday. She's turning . . . um, uh . . . well, that's the problem. She's been dreading this birthday since she learned to count. The day means only one thing . . . surely life can be nothing but downhill form here. Kenny Pearson is old enough to know better, but he doesn't care. As long as he can still knock a softball out of the park and brag about it over a beer with the guys afterward, life is good. His wife and three kids? They have a different story. Ida Bauer is old and doesn't mind saying so. She's earned her wrinkles. Every one of them. Her husband is gone and so are most of her friends--and she has to face it--soon she will be too. Does she have anything left to offer in the time she has left? God has a plan for all of these people--if only they will listen. Roxanne Henke's fourth book in the Coming Home to Brewster series deals with aging in ways that will have readers smiling, nodding their head in recognition, and, maybe, just maybe, learning about the joys that God brings with the gift of age . . . if they will listen.
