'On a hot Sunday afternoon, in the town of Violet Bloom, the aged and wise Mr. Rot sat on his porch. He sat upon a chair that at one time belonged to his grandfather, and for the moment, he was contemplating life. He may have been thinking about his lack of a romantic relationship, which had been the case all his life. Or it could have been a thought regarding worldly occurrences. Or maybe it was just what to have for lunch . . .'Until now, seventy-five-year old Leo Rot had led a comfortable, if basic, life, with his parents in Violet Bloom-the small town where his family had lived for generations. That life is upended as he finds himself plagued by a series of events beyond his control. Family crises, incorrigible teenagers, an intractable rodent problem, and a hidden enemy will push Mr. Rot in a test of wills and character. Ultimately, he is thrust into a key role in finding the answer to his own mysterious happenings while inadvertently solving a puzzle in Violet Bloom’s past. This book tells the tale of how this new chapter in his life unfolds in unexpected ways, forcing the quirky senior citizen and others out of their comfort zones and forging new and surprising friendships along the way.
