Meet Doris

At seventy-eight, Doris Kaminski is learning that life can change when you least expect it. After losing her beloved husband, Harold, the sunny yellow Victorian they shared for fifty years sometimes feels much too quiet—and everyday tasks aren’t always as simple as they once were. Still, Doris is determined to remain in the home she loves, with her faithful beagle, Biscuit, never far from her side.

Warm, independent, and quietly funny, Doris approaches life’s next chapter one small step at a time. With help from old friends, kind neighbors, and a little kitchen-table wisdom, she discovers that accepting help doesn’t mean giving up—and that friendship, laughter, and new beginnings can appear at any age. Come on up to the porch. The kettle’s on.
