Jan

Jordan is having a birthday—a birthday she's been dreading since she learned to

count...surely life can be nothing but downhill from here.

Kenny

Pearson is old enough to know better, but he doesn't care. As long as he can

still knock a softball out of the park and brag about it over a beer with the

guys afterward, life is good.

Ida

Bauer is old and doesn't mind saying so. Her husband is gone and so are most of

her friends—and she has to face it—soon she will be too. Does she have anything

left to offer in the time she has left?

God

has a plan for all these people...if only they will listen.
