When push comes to shove, Death forces them to fight

their way back to life. But what happens when

It decides to tag along for the ride?

​

A big man, a small man, a sort-of man, a sort-of dog, 

a not-so great woman, an oh-so great woman, all attempting

to escape the terminal institution at the end of life’s road.

​

Dispel all of your preconceptions and dare to venture into this

allegorical tale, about five older people who know nothing,

written by a younger person pretending to know everything.

"Milo Twyla is a modern-day philosopher.

Removing stereotypical divisions between polar ages,

this young sage writes of the winter of life

with such refreshing empathy and intimacy

that one is reminded of the humanity of our older generation.

After all, a person is a person no matter how old."
