“Welcome To Paradise” by Julie Marino

Evelyn, an active but lonely widow, thinks this may be her last solo trip to her Caribbean beach house before encroaching old age and interfering children dictate otherwise. Rory, a restless wanderer, is just looking for a warm, congenial pit stop. Taking up Evelyn’s offer of a place to stay a night, or maybe two, Rory finds himself feeling more and more at home at Evelyn’s place. She, meanwhile, is unexpectedly delighted to have an agreeable, helpful young companion. They both realize that their friendship is offering more than they thought. That is, until Evelyn’s suspicious and controlling overprotective son Greg, his stoic, long-suffering wife Trish, and Sydney their daughter who is a young adult and not happy to be dragged along on this surprise visit to grandma’s cottage. Welcome to Paradise subtly refutes the assumption that young and old people have nothing in common and can’t be friends or even soulmates.
