Book 4 of Fair Acres Series pokes fun at growing older, reflecting on the special wisdom gained from aging, as well as the challenges and losses along the way.

Hattie McNair and her senior citizen cohorts at FairAcres Home return in the fourth book by Effie Leland Wilder. This is such a sweet series, each book has a plot but really it is about the every day issues of aging and how important it is to have good friends with a sense of humor.

I found this series of books accidentally, I was in a corner of the bookstore that I don’t normally peruse looking for a specific book and as I was leaving the covers of these books jumped out at me and I was impressed that the author wrote the first book when she was in her 80’s. I have enjoyed all four of her books and recommend them to anyone who just wants a gentle read.
