Missy Carmichael is 79 years old and lives alone in the house where she and the love of her life raised their two children, both of whom live far away. She doesn't have any real friends or much to do except take walks to the nearby park. It's on one of these walks that boisterous Sylvie and harassed single mom Angela meet Missy and begin forcing their friendship upon her. Soon, Angela also forces Bob, a temporarily homeless dog, on Missy, changing the older woman's life in ways she never would have dreamed.
This is a touching story of love and friendship arriving in the most unexpected ways. I enjoyed getting to know Missy and her new friends (both human and canine), and I was touched by the ways in which multiple generations of women supported one another. An excellent read.
