Produktbeschreibung
The joys of retirement feel imminent to columnist Paul Scrivensby, a native of the Great Lakes' very own St. Catherine's Cove, but when his penultimate column stirs controversy, the writer soon finds easing into carefree days of leisure a luxury growing more elusive. Embroiled in the unexpected pursuits presented before him while on the verge of retirement, Paul discovers what he and others are capable of and searches for understanding of what is truly expected of him at this pivotal point in his life. A story of discernment amid the challenges and blessings of work, retirement, family, community, and past and current norms, The December Issue explores what it means to live a fulfilling life as a young person and as a person entertaining the prospect of retirement. As Paul grapples with his newfound free time, interactions with his wife, grandchildren, and friends prove insightful in ways he never imagined, especially as they bump him into unforeseen experiences and turmoil and as they nudge him to understand what the purpose of his life is. The December Issue, through a vibrant cast of multigenerational characters, thought-provoking dialogue, timely issues, and a humorous unfolding of events, showcases a heartwarming story about one man's decision to retire and what he learns in the process.
