Newly retired and ready to reconnect with herself, Joyce Allen realizes that shes not yet the person she knows she was meant to be. At the age of 56, shes committed to discovering happiness and begins her new journey by taking classes, attending concerts, and adopting the dog she has secretly wished for, Dingo.
When Dingo is injured and a visit to the new veterinarian in town is necessary, Joyce finds herself quietly attracted to Dr. Amanda Carter, the intellectual dreamer who is many years her junior.
Joyce knows that their age difference is too big an obstacle to overcome, and is content to settle for friendship with the thirty-two-year-old vet. But Amanda, for her part, cant see the gaping divide between them. All she knows is the warmth and attraction she feels for Joyce, and cant understand why age should matter at all.
