I love the idea of music by seniors for everyone! It's a great way for seniors to share their knowledge and their lives.
Amy returns home to help her grandfather after he is in a minor accident. Amy and her grandfather have been at loggerheads since her grandfather didn't support her dreams of becoming an author, but mainly because it meant that he had no one to pass his dream on to...his store Pumpkin Everything.
When Amy arrives to her hometown she reconnects with her best childhood friend Kit and discovers that her Grandfather is not doing as well as she thought. This leads Amy to try to talk her grandfather into selling everything and moving into a retirement living situation. Slowly Amy starts to realize that writing is something that her grandfather can't relate to.
Wonderful fall backdrop for this pumpkin extravaganza. And who made that ginormous fake pumpkin prop? The scarecrow contest was fun and the grandfather's house is amazing with all of its antiques and fall decor.
"Life isn't all or nothing. You get to decide what parts of your past you keep and you can always change your mind."-mom.
FYI...I don't understand why it is all or nothing for Amy. Why does her grandfather have to go into a home and sell his store? I think there are lots of compromises. She could move home...she's an author! He could get more help at the store and have a roommate at home?
The romance wasn't the most believable and the character of Amy was aggravating. What happened to "I love you and have always wanted to be with you, you are the one."? Instead it's "I won't get in the way of your career."...is that romance for millennials? I guess I am a little bit more old fashioned than that. This didn't sit the best with me even with all of it's autumnal traipsing.
