On a back road in Vermont hangs an elegant sign: Yesterday's Inn-guests welcome. Sportswriter John and his college-age son, David, are intrigued by the invitation and take time out of their camping trip to stay at the charming Victorian house. There, they learn the story of the inn and its owner, Bill. Bill established the inn to try and create a refuge for those disheartened by the modern world. The inn harkens back to a simpler time, and John, feeling some of that sadness, can't help but find it appealing.
The times the father and son spend at the inn will have repercussions for both their lives. The inn causes John to reevaluate where life has taken him and contemplate what he is looking for in life. David sees his father in a whole new light during their numerous stays, as they get to experience the Inn during its different seasons.
This poignant novel about family, friendship, and community captures the bittersweet feeling of growing old and the contentment that comes with sharing time with loved ones. True peace can be found at Yesterday's Inn-somewhere to recapture just a little of the pleasures found in youth and lost with life.
