Lil's comfortable here (recuperating from a recent bad fall), but she is eager to get back to her own apartment. And since her driver's license doesn't expire until her ninety-seventh birthday, she's also eager to get back behind the wheel of her sporty '89 Olds." "Even so, Lil enjoys her new friends and their chitchat out here on the porch. Mrs. Maudie Lowe, the little tiny woman, and Mrs. Beatrice Satterwhite, the three-wheeled-walker woman, are laying bets on whether Mrs. Clara Cochran (the one who cusses) takes her glass eye out at night. And L. Ray Flowers, the freelance evangelical preacher with the fancy white hair who sings his sermons and strums a mean guitar, is revealing his hopes of rising to an even higher calling - a national movement to unite churches and nursing homes ("Nurches of America, Chursing Homes of the United States"). Keeping a watchful eye on them all is Carl, Lil's middle-aged bachelor nephew with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint." "But all talk and no action isn't Lil's strong suit. She's restless. She wants some adventure. And before long, tranquil Rosehaven is turned upside down. Lil and the girls steal a car and hit the highway. L. Ray's vision of nurches - warmly embraced by the residents - is beginning to unsettle the management. And then there's Darla Avery's dirty little secret, which could spell disaster for the visionary preacher."--BOOK JACKET.
