Can love be found only by the young? Can love come a second time to those who lost their first love?
Thomas rails against his loneliness and resolves to change it. His beloved wife, Betty, passed away from a stroke, daughter Angie moved to Paris, daughter Penelope wed recently, and even his cat Pixie died, crushed under a car’s tires. He has nothing left. He yearns for a life partner with whom he can live out his remaining years, but his options are awful. Never would he choose any of the women he encounters until Margaret walks past him.
For ten years, Margaret watches dementia consume George, her husband of forty-five years. The life she had vanished like a vapor, that is, until Thomas cold calls her, inviting her on a lunch date. She’s not been on a date with a man, other than her husband, for decades. She has nothing to wear! What’s a girl to do?
Follow Thomas and Margaret as their relationship blooms until Margaret visits her son. What she overhears there stuns her, and she flees back to St. Louis into the pit of despair. Can Thomas’s love for her break through that shell?
