In Holt, Colorado, widower Louis Waters is initially thrown when the widowed Addie Moore suggests that they spend time together, in bed, to stave off loneliness. His daughter, Holly, lives in Colorado Springs; her son, Gene, in Grand Junction. Soon however their unusual arrangement provokes local comment as well as the disapproval of their children, and their nightly pattern is further disrupted when her son, whose wife has departed for California, asks Addie to take in his six-year-old son, Jamie, for the summer while he tries to solve his troubles. Jamie is confused and hurt, but gradually finds comfort in the company of his grandmother and her friend Louis. 176 pages.
