About this series
Clara forgets to remember a lot of things, but she clings fiercely to the memory of Florida, her real home. With best friends Bonnie and Jimmy filling her lapses with Zumba and happy hour tea, Vermont's Milton Manor senior living is almost bearable. Her new friend, Axel, is also a gem, stopping by often to run her errands.
But then ousted tenant Willie, who tried to kill Clara's dog, starts lurking around the Manor once again, and the gossip over Clara's rule-flouting becomes more intense. When her son begins colluding with Bonnie and Jimmy, questioning her every decision, she's had enough.
She doesn't know who she can trust, including herself. But one thing she knows for sure — she will escape Milton Manor if it's the last thing she does.

- Clara & Pig: Clara Adventures, #1
1
Clara hates Vermont. Her son moved her here due to her dementia, but it was a mistake. There's a squirrel murderer on the loose and management's ignoring her concerns. Her pet pug, Pig, hates it too, threatened by a vengeful tenant and constrained by the cold, and senior residence rules that never end. What's more, strange letters from the dead arrive in Clara's dreams. And someone's arranging her grandchildren's toys into alarming scenes outside the front doors. Before it's too late, Clara hatches a plan to escape with the help of a non-binary youngster named Radish, Bonnie the eyelid artist, and Jimmy the overly popular owner of a working vehicle. But escape may not be what Clara needs. Can she ever find peace in her new home and its colourful residents with a slowly fragmenting mind? At once horrifying and hilarious, "Clara & Pig" will captivate anyone who has ever loved a dog or watched a loved one struggle with dementia. Perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman's "A Man Called Ove" and Lisa Genova's "Still Alice."
