Description


Walt, a newly retired owner of a construction company, was looking forward to a new, care-free life as a retiree. He was planning to immerse himself in his wood-crafting hobby and to reserve plenty of time for lots and lots of fishing. After the tragic death of his wife fifteen years earlier, he'd lived the life of a single dad to his three boys while building a very successful business. He was ready to kick back and enjoy a quiet, leisurely, uncomplicated life into his golden years. Then he met Katie. Katie, well into her sixties and two years a widow, was perfectly content with her life. Her grief over the loss of her husband had eased and getting back to socializing with her women friends had brightened her outlook. She was high spirited with an impish streak by nature, and she'd gotten used to being without a man under foot. She was happily living life as it was meant to be until one morning, while on a quick trip to the grocery store, she was catapulted into a topsy-turvy life she never could have imagined.

About The Author


Marylin Elterman lives on the Western Slope of the Colorado Rockies in a small town not far from the Utah border. She grew up in rural Michigan and, at the age of nineteen, she left home to sample a different lifestyle in Colorado. She liked what she found and put down roots, becoming an avid skier, hiker, road biker and golfer. Now in her eighties, she is a woman with a passion for writing who has found plenty of fodder for her whimsical short stories and evocative poetry. But it was while writing with the Colorado Chapter of Women Writing for (a) Change that she found her true author's voice. In the group's circle of trust, and encouraged to write from the heart, her stories and poems took on new life. It was there that she discovered a romance crying out to be written and the confidence to write it. This is her first novel.
