Book Description
Olivia Wallace has a birthday curse . . . or so she thinks. It was a broken heart on her 16th, a car accident on her 21st, pneumonia on her 30th, and a fall down a flight of stairs on her 35th. There were Ohio blizzards on her 38th, 39th, and 40th; and six days before her 45th, she lost the love of her life to a heart attack. Numbing grief stole that birthday and a couple more to follow and, on the morning of her 48th birthday, she received the call she’d dreaded ever since losing her mom so many years ago…she was diagnosed with stage-3 ovarian cancer. The doctors didn’t hold out a lot of hope, but Liv survived and maintained her faith. Months of surgeries and chemotherapy and radiation treatments followed. But now, as her 50th birthday creeps up the icy Ohio path toward her, her hair has grown back, her energy level is up, and she is officially cancer free. It makes her nervous. After everything she’s gone through, Liv hates the idea of driving on icy roads and returning to work as an O.R. nurse in a local Cincinnati hospital. Her best friend Hallie knows just the thing to break Liv out of the winter doldrums, while providing a safe haven of warmth, sunshine, and a time to regroup: a holiday in the Florida sunshine!

Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
unLikely Enemies is a tale of parental trials endured when grown children resist the inevitable and the necessary to leave the nest. Robb and Lorraine Mellenn were reaching retirement age. They had worked hard and planned well. So had their good friends, Clark and Merrill Justyne and the Harris’, Adele and Neil. But they had all overlooked something in their planning. None would be able to begin retirement until each of their adult children moved out from their homes. The Mellenn's son, Tennenbaum, led the pack in finding the most inventive ways to keep the status quo. As a result, the parents take action. The men ban together as do the women. Each gender executes their own scheme to teach their adult kids to be financially alert and independent. And the various outlandish plots against their offspring always ends askew, and their adultlings unwilling to budge. And, why should they? They're perfectly comfortable where they are, well cared for, under their parents' roofs. It is only with the unexpected death of Tennenbaum's beloved grandparent that Tennenbaum and the other grown children, at long last, find their way into adulthood. In a final twist, the parents' plans to begin their Golden Years are further delayed this time of their own making.
