Funny, sad, and spiritual, this story will keep you turning pages until the satisfying end. Gertrude is a mature woman perfectly happy with her life as a nurse in Maryland. Her social life is busy, she has a boyfriend that retired from the White House secret service, and she gets to host her family when they come visit the sites. However, a strange desire to move to Arkansas soon takes root. Within weeks, she's selling her house and setting off across the country.Her new home comes with benefits and mysteries. She's close to family, allowing her to spend more time with her grandkids, but her neighbors are full of surprises. Gertrude must navigate the changes that come complete with carpeted mailboxes, yards full of rocks, neighbors who want to see in closets, and blind dates. Learning that life, and the people we meet in it, aren't always what they seem will keep her busy while the biggest surprise yet heads her way.
