During a hot Arizona summer volunteering at a nursing home, troubled teen Dudley and eccentric newbie Naya find themselves growing closer over the poems of a mysterious elderly woman with dementia who disappeared decades ago. ***** Dudley Warrington is barely getting by. Haunted by the tragic death of his mother and heartbroken from a recent breakup, each day is a struggle. When he finds himself paired with quirky new student Naya Stephens for a volunteer programme at a local nursing home, Dudley expects a long, boring summer. What he doesn't expect is Marie Von Delden, a mysterious resident with dementia who disappeared in another state over forty years ago under a different name.
