Love Makes Old New
~A story by Anne Buzzelli~ After Persey gives into an angsty instinct, her last summer in high school is spent volunteering in a retirement home. She never thought she’d make a friend in that place, but Adam the octogenarian seemed ageless. An impossibility changed the way she looked at love and life and herself.
