For Better ... For Worse: A Sara Jennings Novel

Marriage at any age presents challenges, generates disagreements, and requires compromise. Marriage at an advanced age increases these challenges. Sometimes it's easier to keep the peace when the hearing-aid batteries run out, and compromise is often easier to attain with the understanding that, late in life, nothing is long term.

Life at Parliament Square continues in the second book of the Parliament Square series, For Better . . . For Worse. The first book, You Can't Get There From Here, introduced Sara Jennings, following her transition from independent living to life in a senior retirement community. In the last chapter of that book, Sara and Joseph became engaged to be married.

Now Sara's story continues as she enjoys new experiences while savoring memories of days gone by. She opens a new chapter in her book of life with all the confidence of a four-year-old in a Superman cape. She refuses to allow her chronological age to define her, seizing life with the geriatric version of reckless abandon. Life is once again an adventure instead of a meaningless progression of hours to be endured until tomorrow arrives.

The memories of life's moments massage our hearts with gentle fingers of love. Sometimes they remind us of days gone by, days that are missed but will never be forgotten. Our hearts often ache for those times. Memories make us smile. Memories make us cry. Sometimes they make us laugh and cry at the same time. They make us realize life is too precious to waste a single day.

Rejoin Sara Jennings and her friends at Parliament Square as they have new adventures and make new memories in For Better . . . For Worse.
