Mattie Smith, a woman in her early sixties, has-she feels-accomplished quite a lot in her lifetime. Like everyone else, some of her ventures have been of her own choosing, but most-not; her hectic life leaving her precious little time to do the things she loves most-reading novels, spending time with friends and family, being involved in choirs, and the music that’s so much a part of her life... one would be hard put to say which of these would be placed at the top of her list!Life has a way of changing directions when you least expect it, changing your direction and placing you on a course you would never have dreamed of taking.

The idea was to have a place so that Mattie could be with Walt occasionally, rather than being left at home alone for such long lengths of time, as she had been doing for years.
