Taking Care

An inspiring story that’s easy to read but will not soon be forgotten. Middle age, easy-going bachelor Dexter Phillips intends to write his first novel. His live-in girlfriend, Marilyn, departs Connecticut to be with her ailing mother in Arizona. He’s unsure if she will return. Dexter has a shoebox full of photos to frame his book using these pictures anecdotally for the bones of the story.

He needs a better writing environment and goes to a Staples store to purchase a new desk chair. He meets a young salesgirl, Emma, who later shows up at his door with the warranty she forgot to give him. He invites her for tea and wonders, “Does this warranty warrant a visit?”

And the adventures begin. Taking Care is a story of hope and charity, friendship and passion, laughter and tears. A cross-generational saga of good people who care about each other.
