This fictional story is about making elder care decisions. It tells of George, Verna, Doris, and other elders who have been admitted over time to St. Matthew Nursing Home - their final home - due to dementia or other debilitating medical conditions. Each of them questions how they landed here, as they live their final days and years in this unfamiliar place. Some are content, while others are desperate to go back home. Family members are also woven into the story, discussing their guilt over their reasoning for choosing a nursing facility. This book considers the options families have, including providing home care services versus the 24/7 nursing care provided in a nursing home. You also hear from the staff of St. Matthew, presenting their views, frustrations, and passion to do the right thing. What would you do if the decision was about your mother, or if you were part of the nursing home staff? She Presents Well delves into the issues we all have to face.

The Death of the Old Lady is a woman's pledge to come to the bottom of her employer's sudden and unexpected death. Anna Petersen lives and works with Nora Simps in a small Cornish village. In spite of the age gap, Nora and Anna are close friends. When Anna finds Nora dead in the kitchen, she turns into a sleuth; during her investigation, she is joined by the local artist David, the police inspector Ryan, and her sister, Stella. By and by the secrets behind Nora Simps's life and death are uncovered. Also her own and her sister's life change drastically as the story unfolds and takes us from Cornwall to the Lake District and briefly to Germany. Things and people are not always what they seem, and dreams can be shattered in the blink of an eye; however, they can also be reconstructed through faith and love, and sometimes we need to change to meet our true purpose.
