Inhalt:

George Donner felt that he had arranged the perfect life for himself. Marrying his childhood sweetheart, fathering a bright and attractive son, and taking care of his little family in the suburbs were, he believed, the right things to do. But when he finally discovers that "the right thing isn't always the best thing," his wife is dead, his son, Martin, is middle-aged, and George himself, at seventy-two, is recuperating from his second stroke in Mountain View, a Colorado nursing home. He assumes that his life is over until his new friend Hannah, a sex-hungry widow with a memory problem and an eye for George, unwittingly introduces him to her competition--Jake Blair, a seventy-five-year-old openly gay writer on layover at Mountain View with a broken hip. Jake and George begin an affair, but when Jake finally heals and goes home, George is left behind, facing heartbreak, commitment to Mountain View by his disapproving son, and a troublesome memory of his father that haunts him as he struggles with his own sexuality. Will George ever be reunited with Jake? Our Day Will Come explores family relationships, ageism, and independence as George struggles to choose between living acceptably and living authentically.
