When we first meet Marcie she's just a bit of a mess, in a love-able and sad kind of way. She finds herself miles away from her home, job, and family. This is where a story of friendship comes along and she meets Flint, a rough around the edges 70 year old man.

I initially wasn't very interested in this book, mainly because I had a hard time relating to Marcie, totally my flaw not the book's. Now I'm really glad I read this story. I enjoyed it throughly and definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a story about starting life from scratch in search of fulfillment.
