Description: In his debut novel, Gregg Kleiner infuses an unforgettable story with all the beauty and lyricism of the Pacific Northwestern landscape. Weaving a tale of immense power in his singular, magical voice, he tells the story of a man determined to realize an improbable dream. Eighty-year-old George Castor promised he would never let his best friend Ralph die alone at the Silver Gardens Nursing Home, but Ralph passed on while George was away fishing. Distraught, guilt-stricken, and seeking redemption, George buys a broken-down mansion in Lookingglass, Oregon, paints it fire-engine red, and begins searching for other old folks to share it with him. And, with the help of a miraculous old woman named Grace, he assembles a ragtag bunch of aging strangers, determined to make their last days on earth -- and his own -- an adventure.
