Whoever said “65 is the new 45” probably had a fat bank account, responsible adult kids, excellent health, and lives dripping with purpose. But most people don’t have it all.
Meet seven lifelong friends - Grant and Marie Renniger, Cal and June Sherman, Marcus and Ava Van Zant, and Elodie Ford – who, lacking all these things in differing measures, resolve their challenges by combining their resources, skills, and wits.
Bound by their deep faith in Christ, the enterprising friends purchase a large, turn-of-the-20th-century house in fictional Faircourt, Kentucky, and are determined to live missionally among their new neighbors. Only, they have no idea of the hurts and secrets behind the walls of these homes, nor of the sorrows that will providentially afflict their own. How will their desire to serve God in their retirement years survive the painful challenges and spiteful opposition?
Join the loveable, spunky, relatable Faircourt Friends in their journey to be joyful servants, trusting God is at work in every difficult situation and redeeming the time.
If you are looking for a good, clean fiction story (hard to find these days) look no further. The author creates a unique and compelling story. I plan to read book two and as my ‘go to’ is typically non-fiction, that is a big stamp of approval.
This lovely book is a sweet fiction about friendship, faith, and loving people well. This story is about a group of mature adults who decide to spend their remaining years sharing life in a large house. Their love for Jesus, for each other, and for their neighbors shines through every page. As a mature woman who is tired of so much Christian romantic fiction, I was blessed by this story of Christ-like love.
