Opis

What appears to be a nightmare for Florence and Leona becomes an unexpected life-changing adventure. The fragile health of both elderly ladies require them to take up residence at a nursing home in Southern California with one consolation-at least they have each other. Florence and Leona are life-long friends, the kind who would do anything to help each other. The past catches up with Florence when she learns that her close friend, Bishop Gabriel, is being threatened by a scandal involving the two of them in 1941. Florence possesses the key to resolving the problem, but feels compelled to keep it to herself. Her friends, Father Carl and Leona, attempt to solve the dilemma, while trying to honor Florence's wishes to keep the facts confidential. Meanwhile, problems at the nursing home result in the plagues of a spiteful health inspector and abusive individuals. Just when they thought life in a nursing home was going to be dull, Florence and Leona find themselves on a mission to resolve the facilities problems. Will Father Carl and Leona find the information needed to stop a looming scandal-or will a number of lives be destroyed because Florence is forced to reveal her secret, but vital information?
