Thirty-four-year-old Maeve Lindstrom loves her job at Willow Pond Senior Care. Her older sister Macey thinks Maeve is the only human being on earth who can make working in a nursing home sound like fun. Maeve enjoys being around the sundowners, as she calls them, helping them navigate their senior years{u2014}brightening a time that can be, all too often, a lonely, sad stage of life. Thirty-three-year-old Gage Tennyson{u2014}who brings his mischievous yellow Lab, Gus, to whatever restoration job he is working on with Macey{u2019}s husband, Ben{u2014}loves Maeve with all his heart. He{u2019}s a handsome country boy and a true southern gentleman. But as he and Maeve grow closer, they both sense that they haven{u2019}t been completely forthcoming about their pasts. When Maeve realizes Gage might be planning to propose, she knows she must finally be honest with everyone she holds dear. She can no longer live with the secret she{u2019}s been dragging around like an anchor, and she knows the only way she will be free to build a lifetime relationship with Gage is to risk everything{u2014}including his (and her family{u2019}s) love and respect. Before she finds the courage, however, her past comes careening into her life in a shocking and unexpected way. (less)

This is the story of a man who faced down personal challenges and tragedy, to become a public servant who refuses to be cynical about political leadership. As a senator from Delaware since 1973, Joe Biden has been a witness to the major events of the past four decades and a relentless actor in trying to shape recent American history. Here he reveals what these experiences taught him about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. He shows how the guiding principles he learned early in life--the obligation to work to make people's lives better, to honor family and faith, to get up and do the right thing no matter how hard you've been knocked down, to be honest and straightforward, and, above all, to keep your promises--are the foundations on which he has based his life's work as husband, father, and public servant.
