Description: As everyone knows, creative people really are different! Eleven years ago, a group of "creatives"--Painters and poets, sculptors and scribes--bought the abandoned scholasticate on Mission Lake in the lovely Qu'Appelle Valley as a retirement home, craving the independence and respect they had once known as productive, working members of society. Throughout retirement, they've maintained creative energy, willpower, humour--and even a measure of foolhardiness! But now, in their golden years, they are beginning to experience the problems and pitfalls of aging. Is it enough to put an end to their collective dream of self-determination? Not if Allie Dutton can help it!--Cover p.4.
