Maggie Pouncey's touching novel tells the story of Flora Dempsey and how she comes to terms with her father's death.

His retirement work as a poet and the way that he kept up with his friends and forged new friendships (including a lady friend) was a revelation to her. This delightful book gives one a reason to look at your family members in a whole new light and desire to get in on their dreams - what is it that they want for their future?
