Her life now revolves around work and taking care of her great-aunt Cory who doesn’t want to be taken care of. Aunt Cory still lives in the run-down mansion that the rest of the family wants to sell if they can only get the old lady into a nursing home.

Spanning [...]decades, this enchanting tale reminds us that some loves never fade and that sometimes, home truly is where the heart lies.
