THE LAST RESORT Twelve aging friends buy a house to live in together and hire the best cook and nurses in town to assist them, but powerful forces conspire to shut them down, including City Hall, their own children and a conman called Babba with hypnotic blue eyes. Based loosely on the authors' own experiences, this is a comic novel about a serious question that all baby boomers must soon confront: is there an alternative to being packed off to a nursing home in one's final years?
