A sixty-year-old, corporate woman runs away from her recent past to a familiar, but uncertain, life in Sarasota, Florida where she must confront the ancient past in order to assure her family's impending future. Elizabeth Blum is no stranger to loss. In fact, it has ruled her existence for years now. Having buried herself in the high stress, corporate world of Procter & Gamble she accepts an early retirement package and makes the harebrained decision to run away from home. Yet, the decision to move from Cincinnati, Ohio to Southwest Florida comes with angst, as Liz battles more phobias than Sigmund Freud ever imagined, plus recurring anxiety and panic attacks that are self-medicated with wine and Librium. Supported by her long-time friend, Jacqueline Hernandez, Liz settles into Pelican Cove along with all the eccentricities the unconventional residents have to offer. Her journey is filled with humor entwined with fear. Along the way she finds friends, foes, family, woes, a possible ghost and ... could it be love?
