This book is not a story about an old woman overcoming physical hardship. This is a fun, fictional story about a 73 year old woman, completely immersed in living a life that determines her own destination.

As Camille grows older, Brian feels it's time that she moves closer to him. Camille doesn't share that view and proceeds to prove it through Adult Education Courses to show she is still relevant. She enlists her friend Sarah to attend 'Intro to French Cooking' with her. All goes well until their perfect souffle deflates with a thud. Camille's 'Internal Construction Class' leaves her nauseous from the dry wall and Camille's, entertaining but often inconvenient, rollator gets covered with wallpaper paste. All is not lost as Camille's great grandson, Pyke, is able to convince his grandfather, Brian, that great grandma Camille can swing a mean hammer and is still way cool.

Barbara Laughlin lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her husband of fifty-three years. With her mobility compromised, she has two rollators. One named Lola, the old girl, helps her around the house. The other, Gracie, is reserved for outdoor activities like plane travel. When she gets to travel she visits her great grandson, Crew, in Arizona. Barbara is an advocate for positive ageing, encouraging everyone to write their own last chapter.
