Oh no! It appears that William, who is now a LOT older than the usual kindergartner, did NOT learn all he was SUPPOSED to learn in Kindergarten, so his mother decides he had better repeat it. This book tells the story of poor William’s hilarious trials and triumphs, as he ‘Does it again!’
A retirement home is a unique society composed of a mixed bag of, usually elderly, human beings, who may, or may not, have chosen to live together under the same roof, and, many of whom, if they had their druthers, would not have chosen to ever be in such a place at all. In North America, where aging is generally viewed as a deterioration of beauty, rather than as an accumulation of wisdom, they often consider this all rather a raw deal. Glimpses: Sundown Manor gives you a “glimpse” into the lives of some of these people, and provides a light-hearted peek at how it is possible for such a diverse group of personalities to gradually become a “family”.
A town is more than just a collection of buildings; the buildings themselves are secondary. What truly defines a town are the people who live, work, pray, sing, love, struggle, and laugh within its confines. A town’s identity is shaped by its history, its reasons for existence, and the way these elements interact and evolve together, giving each town its unique ‘feel’ compared to another just down the road. This book offers glimpses into the life of one such town, capturing its essence and the vibrant community that defines it.
