Silver Hearts Club
A feel-good later-life romance about second chances, friendship, and finding joy when the world thinks you're done.
When 78-year-old widow Maggie Golding moves into Meadowbrook Retirement Home, she thinks her best days are behind her. Grieving, out of place, and resigned to quiet routines, she never expects to start a revolution.
But one offhand joke about a dating club for seniors turns into the most unexpected adventure of her life.
With the help of a sharp-tongued poet, a flamboyant ex-theatre director, a quiet gardener with a broken heart, and a care assistant who believes in second chances, Maggie launches the Silver Hearts Club-a matchmaking experiment that reignites love, laughter, and a powerful reminder that getting older doesn't mean giving up.
But not everyone is thrilled. As the club goes viral and challenges the rules of Meadowbrook, Maggie must decide whether she's ready to risk everything for one more dance, one more connection-and one last chance to matter.
Perfect for fans of The Switch, A Man Called Ove, and The Authenticity Project, this warm, witty, and emotionally rich novel is for anyone who believes it's never too late to fall in love-or start living on your own terms.
