That book your mother's reading sounds like Nicholas Sparks or possibly Anita Shreve. I went through a brief, lamentable Anita Shreve phase many years ago, right around the time I was going through my even more lamentable Jan Karon phase. Then again, Jan Karon's freakshow "idyllic" small town of Canaan could very easily qualify as Shirley Jacksonesque horror, so I was still in my wheelhouse there.
I imagine you, me and the girls at FGC will all be 80 in our nursing homes and still reading sci-fi/fantasy genre books. Yes?
If I make it to 80, I'll probably be in such late-stage Alzheimer's that I'll just be sitting there in my diaper yammering aimlessly about "...this young man I knew. Dean something. He had a lot of guns you know. A lot of guns...his name was Dean...oh shit...Dean something...he had a lot of guns, you know!" And then the attendant will come over and pat my hand and bring me a lemonade to shut me up.
