The Walking Frame War

Rose Finch is the owner/manager of the Sunset Rest Home. She is determined the home will not be the loveless mausoleum of a retirement home where her grandparents Tom and Marjorie, who raised her, saw out their days. Rapacious property developer Kyle Skinner craves the rest home’s prestigious waterfront site on Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour. Rose is also being hounded to sell by her son and daughter Ken and Caroline who want ‘seed’ money for their business enterprises. It is bad enough to lose a flat in your twenties let alone your home in your eighties and the residents rally behind their beloved Rose.
