"When Beth, a germaphobe with dyslexia and anxiety, is matched up as a volunteer for Clara, a quirky elderly woman, the simple task of shopping turns into a complex commitment. Clara is funny, smart, and often stubborn, and Beth finds herself wondering if perhaps Clara's life is a glimpse into her own future. This journal is their story, of two unusual people brought together by chance and the unforgettable friendship that changes both their lives."--Publisher's website.
