V tomto dojemném příběhu se setkáme se dvěma sedmdesátníky, Evelyn a Josephem. Znají se celý život, vyrůstali spolu, založili rodinu, vychovali tři děti, provozovali penzion, odešli na odpočinek. Evelyn ale velkou část života pochybovala, jestli to byl život podle jejích představ. Toužila se věnovat hudbě, cestovat, ale místo toho se starala o hosty a pečovala o děti. Joseph nepochyboval nikdy, rodina a penzion pro něho byly smyslem života. U Evelyn se začnou projevovat zdravotní potíže, nakonec jí diagnostikují Parkinsonovu chorobu. Vyděsí ji to o to víc, že její matka trpěla Alzheimerovou chorobou a rodina byla svědkem toho, jak přichází o vzpomínky, návyky, nepoznává své blízké. Pro Evelyn je nepředstavitelné, že by přišla o svůj svět, rodinu i sama sebe, a rozhodne se, že raději odejde důstojně. Joseph si život bez ní neumí představit, tak začne odchod plánovat s ní. Sdělí svým dětem, že jim zbývá rok života, který si chtějí užít s nimi a vnoučaty. Vracejí se ve vzpomínkách do dětství, k rodičům, k událostem během války, ke společnému životu, problémům v manželství i konfliktům s dětmi, k životu u moře. Děti to nechápou a nesouhlasí s tím, aby dobrovolně odešli. I na vlastní život se však začnou dívat prostřednictvím hluboké lásky rodičů

All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author Jen DeLuca. Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him? The faire is Simon's family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn't have time for Emily's lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she's in her revealing wench's costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they're portraying? This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can't seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek.
