Legally Separated and Unemployed with a Year to Kill – What Will Jeanne Do? A unique set of circumstances creates a perfect storm for Jeanne Corvese Hussin, who faces multiple life changes. After the 2008 housing bubble burst, she stands at a crossroads: continue her senior vice president role at a mortgage bank with a pay cut or take a year-long severance to travel with her son, Jason. She chooses the latter, but soon finds her nights lonely and filled with disappointment from online dating misadventures. In a moment of inspiration, Jeanne decides to give back. Drawn to senior citizens, she begins volunteering at a local assisted living facility for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients in a ward called Recollections. This decision introduces her to a vibrant cast of characters that shape her journey. Through her heartfelt interactions with the memory-challenged seniors and her own family stories, Jeanne embarks on a transformative experience. Her memoir captures not only the challenges of aging and memory loss but also her unexpected “never too late” romance. This narrative is more than just a book; it’s an emotional journey that will leave a lasting impact on readers.
