- Summary:
- DESCRIPTION Lil Olive is having a tough time adjusting to her new life at the Rosehaven Convalescence Center and the loss of her independence. She'll be back in the driver's seat in no time, she thinks, but until then she's got her doting nephew Carl who takes her out to lunch and manages all that Medicare and Medicaid nonsense, her new friends Beatrice and Maudie who are obsessed with Clara Cochran's glass eye, and the Revered L. Ray Flowers who entertains them all with music, sermons, and his scheme to unite churches and nursing homes. But all hell breaks loose when the girls commit grand theft auto, the management schemes to evict L. Ray for forming a cult, and a Rosehaven resident decides to share dirty little secret with anybody who'll listen.
