EARLY PRAISE
“Ghosts of Harvard is written with a masterly, focused hand, belying the fact that this is Serritella’s debut novel. The pages burn with frenetic energy and are peopled by memorable, compelling characters. The tension is palpable, the twists and surprises perfectly timed and the stakes as high as humans should be asked to endure. The end result, a novel you will long remember and characters you will want to see again. A triumph in every respect.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci
“Wow, what a lively, compelling, and intoxicating debut. Ghosts of Harvard is so many things—a rumination on grief, a glimpse behind the ivory walls of a famous institution, a poignant look at mental illness, and a powerful story about the ghosts that haunt us all. Francesca Serritella is my new ‘go-to’ author.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben
“Every time I thought I knew where Ghosts of Harvard was heading, I turned out to be wrong. Part mystery, part ghost story, part psychological thriller, this novel is all entertainment.”
—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult

Column Classic: Mother Mary and the Retirement Village
By Lisa Scottoline
Column Classic: Mother Mary and The Retirement Village
By Lisa Scottoline
Sooner or later, most families will deal with the question of whether an aging mom or dad should move to a retirement community. The pamphlets say it’s not an easy decision, and they never met Mother Mary.
We begin with some background.
As you may know, my mother lives with Brother Frank in South Beach, and lately they’ve been talking about selling their house.
By lately, I mean the past twenty years

Moving to PA
My mom was so happy when we sent her to the retirement home, we should have done it sooner!
a GREAT CLASSIC column … ♥️ Mother Mary stories are the best
Sign me up!
Is that brother Frank I wish you’d write about him more I miss my brother everyday
The good life❤️
I love Mother Mary stories! I hope Brother Frank is well; he needs column space too.
Great family photo!!
Great picture!
Sounds like Hersheys Mill or Shannondell!
Perfect. We are "talking" to the parents now. And I'm with you. Almost moved into a 55+ community last year myself.
Mother Mary had a beautiful smile!
Love these classic columns!
She looks marvelous
How about you bribe her w a Jo Malone gift of the month package. 😉
These are the best!!!
My mom moved from NY to NJ then Florida, (of course) and finally to CA where I and my children and grandchildren live. She lives in a reitement village near us, and it is working out well. How is Brother Frank?
I love hearing about Frank and Mother Mary. I’m looking at Shannondell myself.
A great column !
I think that she stayed in Florida.
Love that picture. Keep us posted on Mother Mary's decision...
Great pic!
I am younger than you are and I was somewhat forced to move into a retirement village. Let me tell you, seated exercise classes are just as vigorous standing ones. I still love that people cook for me every day. There is plenty to do. However, I am not a social animal. I prefer being alone. I am not antisocial. I can carry my own in a group. But, I have been a life long loner. I hate that the expectation is to socialize and that I have to pay extra for the privilege of living my preferred lifestyle. As in $7.00 a tray delivery from the kitchen extra. It doesn't really sound like much but it does add up. I bet you would thrive and so would Mrs. Mother Mary. We don't call spaghetti sauce gravy, however. So that might be a difficult adjustment for you two.
Love your Mother Mary stories ❤️
That retirement home sounded like a luxury retreat. I could see why you loved it for yourself!
Happy Veterans Day, and grateful thanks to everyone who served or serves, as well as their families! 🇺🇸
