From the publisher: “Sometimes people become swept into a routine for so long that they lose all hope of an adventure. That is what has happened to Rose. A woman in her late sixties, her husband dead, and her children drifting, Rose has finally begun to tiptoe on the brink of possibility. A push, and the world will open its doors for her.”
