Book Description

July 6, 2006
Into the mindless routine of a housing complex came the first hints of change. Talk of a mysterious town that calls. Talk of changes in the complex management threaten. Then two wildly inventive men and a lot of good cooks bolt, abandoning recalcitrant adult children and grandchildren, affordable housing and city amenities. With fixed incomes, experience and courage, they opt for freedom.

Harry chooses to live and is vulnerable to love. Anne knows that she has lived a somewhat nothing life and almost decides to keep it that way. The bridge club, who can chalk up more experience among them than one would expect, often talk about life and love and can deal with any crisis.

There is the doctor who didn't get away and the farmer who has a silent wife and the Fisheries man who has a pregnant wife and the displaced fisherman who has a boat.

Join them all in an unlikely ocean-side retreat as they revel in living and a return to basics. Sit back and live with love and death and disaster, wood cookstoves, farm food, bad weather and sun with balmy sea breezes. Lapping waves in the evening, woodsmoke, cats and dogs galore make up Arden, the mysterious town.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Doreen-Louise Willis was raised in Victoria and now divides her time between the Island and the Cariboo, enjoying the best of seaside and countryside.

She is the daughter of a writer and has spent her working life in an amazing variety of positions in order to support her writing habit. Love Among the Survivors is her first published book.

"This book is lovingly written and refreshingly devoid of our disturbing modern-day violence. Doreen impresses upon the reader that, just because we become old, we don't have to lose our zest for life, adventure, and human interaction. She sparks our imagination by involving us in the lives of an interesting cast of characters, who collectively decide they are not going to sit idle until they die. She instills in us all the desire to steer our own aging destinies toward personal fulfillment in our twilight years."

Judy Alsager, author of Gang Ranch - The Real Story
