Publisher's summary

When 33-year-old Darren Tierney checks into an old folk's home, he intends to take a break from the real world. Instead, he pinballs into decisions that propel him toward wealth, romance, and resilience in this intriguing, multi-generational, multi-ethnic novel.

Assisted Living: A Novel poses the questions: Do we really need to lean on one another, and can we help each other up when we inevitably fall? It does this engagingly while making us laugh. Lots!

I wanted it to be longer! Great characters, great stories, I just loved it. Even better in Audio

A unique concept of a young man figuring out his life in an old folks home. But this book is really about the characters, how they relate and support. The wit in the writing is such a pleasure to read and listen to, and the actor who reads this book does a wonderful job. I didn’t want it to end! Bravo and thank you. I enjoyed every page. Highly recommend to all. This novel and its wonderful and clever banter is made for the screen!
