Lonely since the passing of his wife, Mr. Smith blossoms under the loving care and attention of the devoted new friend he names Miss Marvin. But life has it ups and downs. After a fall, he and Miss Marvin learn they must leave their beloved house, their stately oak tree, and the tire swing in the shady back yard for a new home in an assisted living facility. Afraid of leaving his memories behind, Mr. Smith soon learns through the eyes of Miss Marvin that many wonderful experiences lie ahead. Miss Marvin is a book for all ages. Children, adults, and seniors will learn there is joy in every stage of life, and that every new beginning is truly a blessing.
