This is a story of the “golden” age of seniors, as seen through the eyes of a precocious seven-year-old girl. Davi meets the elderly people living in her grandparent’s condominium complex, many of whom are suffering from infirmities she has never encountered before, and some who are simply “crackpots,” as her grandfather, Paul, describes them. There are the “hat” ladies in the pool, the cantankerous Mr. Dalton, a ninety-year-old artist, a nearly blind golfer, and many more. However, she interacts with them impartially, and soon her loquacity, humor, and simplicity charm even the most disheartened among them. Davi’s initial response to her grandfather’s Alzheimer’s disease is fright and bewilderment but quickly turns to caring and beneficial support for him, his wife, and Davi’s mother, Paula, who also begins to see these elders in a different light as she watches her daughter’s relationship with them.
