Midlife Senior Moments: at the Danville Senior Center Jean Young

When recently widowed, forty-five year old, Anne Farley decides to volunteer at the Danville Senior Center, she finds she may have bitten off more than she can chew. The director, Royal, immediately puts her in charge of the new lunch program, and Anne has her hands full working with the other volunteers and the town?s mayor, trying to make it successful. In addition to her new job, she must deal with her grief, learn to manager her finances, and maintain her home on her own. There are many bumps in the road as she adjusts to her new job, the seniors? needs, and to living alone. Along the way she makes new friends, takes a grant writing course, grows in competence and confidence in her new life, and meets a special someone who may help end her loneliness.
