At seventy-three, Beverly Atwood is reeling from the loss of her larger-than-life husband, Frank, and fending off her grief with a steady drip of wry humor. When she connects with the charming George on SilverFox.com, Bev feels an unexpected flicker of interest. George confides that he needs a small fortune to care for a sick grandson, so Bev does what no sensible woman would: she resolves to sell her most prized antiques to fan the flames of her fledgling love.
But possessions reveal a lot about their owners, and Bev’s quest unearths more than she bargained for. She must confront the reality of her late husband’s behavior, its rippling effects on her family, and the true identity of her suitor.
As Bev probes the fault lines in her own memory, she finally opens her eyes to those around her: the brash best friend she has always underestimated, the daughter who has stopped trying to earn Bev’s love, and the many curious strangers who offer a deeper understanding of herself and her life.
