A touching tale about being human in the golden years. Back in her
late twenties or early thirties, Doris Johnson had an elaborate
vision of a model retirement community that included shops and
businesses and a large central courtyard. Now in her seventies,
Doris has simplified her vision and added the warmth, interaction,
and activities of the residents who live there. The community now
resides in an old governor's mansion, which provides the perfect
genteel setting for this retirement "family." This heartwarming
story follows the residents through their first year in The
Mansion, revealing their quirks, sorrows, joys, and, most of all,
caring.

humor, leaving indelible impressions on the mind.
