Mazie by Regina Felty

♥ A burdened elderly widow. A reclusive young bachelor. A lonely neighbor girl. A collision of fates that transform their lives forever. ♥ After tragically losing her only child when he was just a boy, then facing her husband's death two years ago from Alzheimer’s, 72-year-old Mazie questions why God doesn't take her too. Her grief leaves her aching to escape her lonely existence and join her husband and son in the grave. When Brian, a reserved young bachelor, moves next door, Mazie takes a special interest in him--attempting to set him up with her young friend, Claire. Then, there’s the odd little girl across the street who is determined to be his friend. Brian doesn’t know what to make of the spunky old woman or the persistent young girl who both nudge their way into his life when he just wants to be left alone.
