English Summary/英文概要： Gloria mines the trials of old age with protagonist Elaine Gordon, an acclaimed artist who finds herself at seas in a life she no longer recognizes. Elaine has spent the better part of a lifetime devoted to her soulmate Neil—overwhelmed with grief at his recent passing, Elaine sees in the time left her nothing but a shadow of her former blessings.
Anxious to console their mother in her time of grief, Elaine’s four grown children urge her to put everything on hold and spend some healing time with them. But visiting each unique and complicated child opens Elaine’s eyes to the fact that the children she raised have become adults she hardly knows.
As Elaine tries to bridge the physical and emotional miles, her eyes are opened to the startling truths of her own family, what she must do to come to terms with the lives of her children—and a future that’s completely, wonderfully . . . hers.
A novel of universal appeal, OPEN DOORS is a tender, moving portrait of the trials we all must face, and galleys are now available upon request!!
