The Big Finish

Synopsis

Meet Duffy, an old curmudgeon who lives in an assisted living home. Meet Josie, a desperate young woman who climbs through his window. Together, they&’re going to learn it&’s never too late—or too early—to change your ways. For Duffy Sinclair, life boils down to one simple thing: maintaining his residence at the idyllic Centennial Assisted Living. Without it, he&’s destined for the roach-infested nursing home down the road—and after wasting the first eighty-eight years of his life, he refuses to waste away for the rest. So, he keeps his shenanigans to the bare minimum with the help of his straight-laced best friend and roommate, Carl Upton. But when Carl&’s granddaughter Josie climbs through their bedroom window with booze on her breath and a black eye, Duffy&’s faced with trouble that&’s sticking around and hard to hide—from Centennial&’s management and Josie&’s toxic boyfriend. Before he knows it, he&’s running a covert operation that includes hitchhiking and barhopping. He might as well write himself a one-way ticket to the nursing home…or the morgue. Yet Duffy&’s all in. Because thanks to an unlikely friendship that becomes fast family—his life doesn&’t boil down the same anymore. Not when he finally has a chance to leave a legacy. In a funny, insightful, and life-affirming debut, Brooke Fossey delivers an unflinching look at growing old, living large, and loving big, as told by a wise-cracking man who didn&’t see any of it coming.
