Old Maid Hazel

What would you do if a hard-boiled, ninety-two year old relative, 4,000 miles away in New England, suddenly needed live-in care? What would your days be like if she still was spunky and sharp-minded, fighting you on everything you deemed best for her (or even for you) ? Battles are fought and lessons learned in Old Maid Hazel when her stubborn, independent, fifty-six year-old niece moves from Alaska to care for her. Bold, honest dialog depict the differences and similarities in these two eccentric women, juxtaposing the disparate mindsets of their respective American generations. The book reminds us to honor and respect personal choices.
