In this heartwarming, humorous tale, ninety-somethings trade rocking chairs for road trips while checking off a secret bucket list - for seven years. The mishap in Antarctica and tussle with burglars in Mexico were just the beginning. Dan, a quiet, successful inventor plans to ease into his last chapter of life on an idyllic Pacific Northwest Island. When his wife of sixty-three years passes away, Dan doesn’t see the point in living anymore. But he adopts an unusually perceptive cat, Mahi, and the two form a very special bond. It isn’t long before Dan and Mahi’s world is turned upside down by Eileen, a fun-loving feisty WWII survivor from England who feels naps are a waste of time. After Dan and Eileen say their “I do’s” on Dan’s 90th birthday, the couple creates a secret bucket list, getting themselves into a number of predicaments. Friends are inspired, but Dan’s three grown sons are not. Mahi, as narrator, shares his opinions and catlosophy of all the humans’ antics and shortcomings. When Eileen’s memory begins to misbehave, a whole host of people nose their way into Dan and Eileen’s lives – some with questionable motives and some, downright sneaky! But it isn’t until Dan’s closest friends warn of trouble ahead that Dan and Mahi worry about keeping their new family together in the home they love. This late-in-life romance, has plenty of surprises and conflicts. Ultimately, Dan and Eileen show that living life your way is worth fighting for, even if adventures don't turn out exactly as planned.
