A senior citizensâ center and a daycare collide with hilarious results in the new ensemble comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project
When Lydia takes a job running a Senior Citizenâs Social Club three afternoons a week, she assumes sheâll be spending her time drinking tea and playing gentle games of cards.
The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydiaâs expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benignâbut when age makes you invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.
When the city council threatens to sell the doomed community center building, the Social Club joins forces with their tiny friends in the daycare next doorâas well as the teenaged father of one of the toddlers and a geriatric dogâto save the building. Together, this groupâs unorthodox methods may actually work, as long as the police donât catch up with them first.
