Welcome to Litsy!

In the romantic tradition of Nicholas Sparks, Fade In Award winner Beth Black's Where You Go, I Go, weaves dueling themes of love and loss in modern-day suburban life. This Better Late Romance explores the challenge facing so many households today - can senior family members triumph over the afflictions of aging, then overcome their adult children's worries ... and fly free again? Every day is Bingo Day at the Rancho Royale. To her dismay, retired teacher Bonnie Brennan finds herself stuck in this depressing facility. Being widowed didn't slow her down. She's always been an adventurer, seeking thrills in the great outdoors. Before her husband died, they climbed Machu Pichu. And she thought she could continue living a robust life. But coming down with Parkinson's Disease has presented obstacles she isn't prepared to face alone. Bonnie's two grown daughters are terrified at the possibility of their mom lying injured and alone in her home. However, neither is in a position to take her in. Isabel's large house presents too many safety hazards for an elderly grandparent whose sense of balance is compromised. And Emily is a struggling artist living in an upstairs one-bedroom flat. So they convinced Bonnie to move into the Rancho Royale. Indeed, the facility tries to help aging inmates feel better about their situation. It even appears to be an aristocrat's estate straight out of an elegant romance novel. That's nothing more than illusion. Bonnie doesn't like her odds in this place, surrounded by fossils in wheelchairs - the lame, the doomed, the decaying, the moribund. It's no kind of happily ever after.She needs to escape, if only for one day spent roaming her beautiful hometown, Rancho Allegro.
