Not Just Another Wrinkled Face by Barb McIntyre is a heartwarming story of the senior citizen community. Mary, Helen, Alice, Lise, Sandra, Paul and Phil are just a few of the residents of Morning Glory condominiums, where most residents are sixty-two or older. Each senior has a story to tell and we, the readers, get to share in their everyday lives. We quickly become fans of Mary’s pregnant granddaughter, her husband and Marge and Bernie (mom and dad). We cheer on Lise as she handles dogs messing on the lawn, root for Phil and Helen to not be discovered, and cry with Alice when she is sad. The rec room is where everyone meets and shares their stories, dreams and past, where they plot and plan, exercise, share food and become a family.
