Mixed Nuts

Viac o knihe

While the themes of elder abuse, alcoholism, depression, and dementia develop in the novel, Mixed Nuts, humor, hope, and love also abide with the residents of Pear Blossom Plaza. The character-driven novel intertwines the lives of the elderly as they persevere together in a retirement home in southern Oregon. Maria, lonely and depressed, blossoms with a man's affection. Bertha, crippled physically and emotionally, finds hope and a long-lost relative through the influence of a teenage girl. Other residents show their humor and frailities as they interact through their daily activities. Baby Boomers, be prepared!
