The Elevated Heart

Ted Moseley, a widower and recently retired businessman, didn't know what to expect when he relocated to the Brookstone Manor retirement community. Little did he know his mature blue-eyed athletic smile would attract the attention of a former flame - also a Brookstone Manor resident. Ted and Sally Morris, an active and attractive widow of a successful attorney, go on from a pleasant chat at their randomly assigned dining table to rediscover themselves and each other. Life at Brookstone is full of comedic happenings and humorous interactions. Amid the adventure of their new life in retirement, Ted & Sally end up have many encounters, some steamy (both literally and figuratively) and some not, but all of which lead to rekindling a love long lost.

Rod Lowrey, the author, is no stranger to the setting described in The Elevated Heart. He is a relatively recent newcomer to retirement living in a community much like the one portrayed at Brookstone Manor. It is Lowrey's hope that The Elevated Heart will make readers smile, laugh and maybe even cry a bit, but in the end they will feel their own spirits are elevated by the story of Ted & Sally's new found life at Brookstone Manor.
