This is a fictionalized memoir of the author's first year living in an "active senior living facility" while she recovered from radiation and chemotherapy for cancer. It's an interesting look at active seniors and the things that go on in those retirement homes. The author's voice reminds me a lot of Jan Karon and the Father Tim books. (
