The book is set in Atlanta Georgia, in an Assisted Living Center where wonderful, wacky characters bring life to this makeshift home.

Each book in the series focuses on a resident, just arriving to Fireside. This debut novel focuses on James Johnson, a black sharecropper’s son who falls in love with his high school sweetheart, Estelle, a petite, white girl from a broken home. Flashback chapters look back at their life of love and the harrowing struggles they endured to stay together.
