Legally Separated and Unemployed with a Year to Kill - What Will Jeanne Do?¿ A unique and timely set of circumstances create the perfect storm for a woman on the cusp of multiple changes. Her somewhat flippant decision to volunteer sets the stage for profound relationships you won't soon forget. When the housing bubble burst in 2008, Jeanne Corvese Hussin found herself at a fork in the road. She could either continue her job as a senior vice president for a mortgage banker at a significant pay cut or take the year-long severance and travel with her son, Jason. She chose the latter. Now what? After Jason would go to bed, the nights stretched out before Jeanne like a long black highway cutting through the desert. She spent the hours flirting with men online but was often disappointed by the real person behind the dating profile. Suddenly, she had an epiphany. Or maybe it was a message from God. She should find a way to give back. Drawn to senior citizens, Jeanne found herself at a local assisted living facility volunteering her time to memory care residents in a ward ironically named Recollections. From her inspired impulse to serve emerge the colorful characters who comprise I See Old People©. You will never be the same. In these pages, Jeanne tells the story of her family, her interactions with the seniors at Recollections, and finally, her storybook "never too late" romance in this extraordinary memoir. I See Old People is much more than a book, it's an experience.
