At 68, Debbie Gordon has six months to get a life. Except for a brief, magical year in Manhattan when she was 21, the long-divorced, former legal secretary has always lived in her sleepy New England hometown, always the good girl, the funny girl, the responsible mom, who has learned to buck up when bad things happen. When her only child Lori and family unexpectedly move away, Debbie can finally retire and live the life she's always wanted, but that life is in Florida. Her helicopter daughter has other ideas and begs her to move in with her in Delaware. They come to an agreement: Debbie has six months (the term of her rental lease) to find happiness in Florida, or she will move to Delaware (likely becoming the family's unpaid nanny). A story of mother-daughter relationships and finding yourself again after retirement.

When her only child and family move away, long-divorced legal secretary Debbie can finally leave her sleepy New England hometown and retire to Florida. Her helicopter daughter has other ideas, but they finally agree Debbie can use the six months on her lease to make a life in Florida. If not, she must move in with her daughter’s family in Delaware, most likely as their unpaid nanny.
In Florida, Debbie’s high hopes of a budget Golden Girls lifestyle disappear when she encounters the wacky, eccentric residents of her shabby rental community. Then a lucky chance encounter leads to a strong new friendship with two women, Maria and Fran.
Helped by her new friends, Debbie navigates the lows and highs of life in South Florida—unresolved past issues, a medical mystery, a difficult new boss, money woes, and late-life dating, plus new adventures, a promising romance, and professional recognition for her writing talent. Will Debbie finally be able to get a life?
