Rather than letting male voices of discouragement wound her, she instead became strong and determined, eventually morphing into a successful journalist. Now middle-aged and newly divorced, Jennifer, also known as J.P., has returned to Cincinnatiready to launch a new career at the Star-Times newspaper as its chief feature writer. But before she can finish her interview with Andy Stokes, the newspapers managing editor, he is distracted by a breaking news story on television. Ninety-year-old Lana Koppler, the most famous resident of Pleasant Hill Farm retirement community, is missing after a fire that destroyed her penthouse. Knowing that J.P. is comfortable interviewing elders, Stokes quickly hires her and sends her to the campus to find the multi-millionaire philanthropist. It is not long before J.P. discovers Lana inside WOLD, the Farms tiny radio station, and she finds herself once again propelled into the exciting life of a reporter focused on immersing herself into the nitty-gritty details of every story. With the help of a zany radio station crew, J.P. provides an uncensored glimpse into the lives of seniors who laugh, love, lust, and dabble in crime at a luxurious retirement community.
