The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern

1920’s Brooklyn
1980’s Florida
These are the two timelines…we go back and forth to learn the story of Augusta (Goldie) Stern, a pharmacist’s daughter.. we see her grow up and she loses the love of her life …Irving, when he disappears from town and leaves with another young woman and her family just when Augusta and her family thought he was about to propose.
Augusta never married�. she went to pharmacy school and had a long career in the medical field. She worked until just before her 80th birthday.
When it’s close to her 80th birthday� her niece has talked her into moving into a retire community in south Florida, there she meets new friends and some old friends from Brooklyn. Irving, among them!
This is a story about second chances.
A lovely story!
