about the long marriage of Sarah and Charles Lucas and their family. After Charles dies, Sarah moves on and an interesting group of people enter her life and home. Predictable Sarah becomes unpredictable much to the dismay of her daughter Charlotte. An interesting group of neighbors in need, teenagers and family come and go into Sarah's home and life and while Sarah works through her grief, the others become independent and come to terms with the problems within their own lives.

This was a nice book where you could just relax and read. There were a too many characters at time it was hard to remember who was who and why they were even brought into the storyline.

Very interesting tale. Lots of things to talk about at Bookclub.

So many characters, but easy to read. After Sarah's husband dies she takes in many different people into her home. She learns from them and they learn from her. Inspiring to know that life does go on and that you are never to old to change.
