Shadow Life

When Kumikos well-meaning adult daughters place her in an assisted living home the seventy-six-year-old widow gives it a try, but its not where she wants to be. She goes on the lam and finds a cosy bachelor apartment, keeping the location secret even while communicating online with her eldest daughter. Kumiko revels in the small, daily pleasures: decorating as she pleases, eating what she wants, and swimming in the community pool. But something has followed her from her former residence - Deaths shadow. Kumikos sweet life is shattered when Deaths shadow swoops in to collect her. With her quick mind and sense of humour, Kumiko, with the help of friends new and old, is prepared for the fight of her life. But how long can an old woman thwart fate?
