Finalist Indie Book Awards, 1st Place National Federation of Press Women, fiction Sequel to Escape from Assisted Living What does it take to forgive, move on, or rekindle romance? The year after 80-year-old Betty Miles' exit from senior living (Escape from Assisted Living), she's happy staying in Chicago with friend Eleanor. She's dating, making new friends, and reconnecting with an old one. Her daughter Sharon D'Angelo is busy with her new dessert shop in Elkhart, Indiana, funded by a legacy from her father Charlie. Good feelings between Betty and Sharon may be short-lived after a stranger makes an astonishing claim. Will mother and daughter work through this mystery together? Of course not. They have kept upsetting truths secret their entire lives. With her hands full--clients making moves on her husband Vince, her mother-in-law meddling in the desserts, and a visitor sleeping over--Sharon keeps her mother away. Timing isn't right for revelations of the goings-on in Elkhart. Meanwhile, Betty's sleuthing family history, keeping her suspicions secret like a good wife and mother. But when past transgressions come to light, Betty finds out whether truth will enhance or destroy her family.
