The love story of a couple renewing life for a derelict home for old ladies—their inspiration, satisfying the ghosts of its former denizens—a true labour of love by lovers?

Evan Robson yearned to rebuild his shattered family.

Maggie seemed right for him in every way except being a career girl lacking desire for motherhood.

His young children lived with a couple he couldn't help but believe wanting as an influence on them. He thirsted for opportunity of becoming a more direct influence, yet needed a child-caring woman to share that life.

Both thought they had the answer to each of their problems until a rug was pulled from beneath their plans—yet an old Home for Old Ladies became the vehicle to help. The work is a love story not only between Evan and Maggie but between them and restoring the derelict old home to something the Old Ladies could only have dreamed of. Stanford Lodge had a proud past and their goal was to represent it to the Old Ladies as its heritage deserved. In the process, the rebuilding of the family, each contributing to 'the cause', seemed to take its hoped for course.

Yet what private thoughts lingered in each of their minds in the process? What challenges to the love in each, spelled trouble on tomorrows horizon?

A love story of desire and achievement, yet dogged by doubts keeping horizons at bay.
