Rose Ainsworth, the affable and slightly neurotic protagonist, returns in this candid exploration of midlife love, loss, and new beginnings. After nearly twenty years of happiness with her husband Jim in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Rose's life shatters when she is widowed shortly after her fiftieth birthday. Overwhelmed by grief, she impulsively decides to buy her friend Wendy's sex shop in the coastal community of Lunenburg just three months later. As she hurriedly rents out her house and stores her belongings, her older sister Daisy fears Rose is fleeing from the memories of her life with Jim. Settling into a furnished condo in Lunenburg, Rose encounters a colorful cast of locals who help her navigate her sorrow. Among them are a quirky long-lost cousin with a health secret, a meddling widow in her seventies urging her to join a bereavement-support group, and a handsome single restaurant owner who ignites feelings Rose struggles to suppress. As the lease on her condo nears its end, Rose faces a pivotal choice: continue building her new life in Lunenburg or return to her Halifax home. With trademark humor and the return of familiar characters, this story feels like a long-overdue reunion with old friends.
