The Unretirement is an uplifting story about the joy of pursuing dreams at any age, full of warmth, heart and community spirit. ------------- Meet foodie Maggie Lawford.
After spending her retirement travelling the world, she's home again - and ready for a new adventure.
When Maggie's daughter, Hannah, takes her to their favourite restaurant, Maggie is heartbroken to find the place empty. But the last straw comes when Maggie hears the chef is at his wit's end - she can't resist charging into the kitchen and taking matters into her own hands.
Never one to give up without a fight, Maggie resolves to save their beloved restaurant from failure, and it's not long before she has a military-grade plan to turn the place around again. Finding herself back at work, all she'll need is support from Hannah and her cheeky granddaughter, Alice, as well as a little help from her neighbours.
After all, Maggie's golden days aren't behind her just yet...
