Summary:

Cora Sledge is horrified when her children, who doubt her ability to take care of herself, plot to remove her from her home. If an eighty-two-year-old widow wants to live on junk food, pills, and cigarettes, hasn't she earned the right? When her kids force her into The Palisades, an assisted living facility, Cora takes to her bed, planning to die as soon as possible. But life isn't finished with her yet, not by a long shot.
