Assisted Living

Hap Maryland is missing. No one has seen him since Morgan Baley, a 13-year-old Christian mystic and Hap’s granddaughter, lost him in the wilderness of Gabbro’s Indian Girl Swamp. Hap may have been on the trail of a cruel conspiracy to charm extra money from residents of retirement home Inglenook; or he may only have been adrift in the wasteland of dementia. In a last service to Hap’s memory, Suellen Ransom will have to convince Hap’s son Taylor, stepdaughter Bethany and their families - even Hap’s ex, Ginnie North and her Mafioso paramour Silvio - to uncover the shocking truth about his last days evading the amenities at Inglenook. The quest will send Suellen and the Maryland family into an unguessable future and bring each face to face with their own gifts, flaws, humanity and fate.
