Condemned to spend his “Golden Years” cooped up in Sunset Nursing Home, 84-year-old Charlie Lambert refuses this ending for himself. With the help of an old sailing buddy living in Maine, Charlie plans to go AWOL permanently, buy a boat, and hit the high seas, where he will live out the remainder of his life on his own terms. Nothing ever goes quite as planned, though, and as Charlie heads towards Maine on a 46-foot sailboat, he strikes up an unexpected romance with Abigail, a woman decades his junior. Things take a darker turn, though, when he discovers a former FBI agent-turned-insurance-investigator hot on his trail. Agent Roberts has been hired to find out what happened to Charlie: bring him back if he’s alive, or determine he’s dead so his estranged sons can collect on his life insurance policy. Roberts doesn’t expect a fight from the old man, but that’s just what he gets. Because Charlie has no intention of ever returning to Sunset, whether in handcuffs or a pine box. Funny, heart-warming, and heart-breaking, That Good Night tells the story of a man who, rather than rail against going “gentle into that good night,” as Dylan Thomas wrote, instead wishes to simply sail into a sunset of his own choosing.

When their mother dies, Aggie and her younger sisters are left to fend for themselves and struggle to make ends meet. Aggie’s father is in constant pain, which is relieved only by his daughter’s skill with massage and regular doses of laudanum. But laudanum is expensive, and food is scarce. Aggie makes a desperate decision to steal food from the market, but to her horror, is caught and sent to Brixton prison. After serving her time, Aggie becomes a maid-of-all-work in the Gartrell household. She is forced to work long, hard hours, and the Dowager Gartrell never misses an opportunity to remind her of her past mistakes. Aggie finds solace in the growing friendship she shares with Viscount Richard Gartrell, the eldest son of the household. Aggie tentatively offers her help with massage to rebuild his body after injuries sustained in the Crimean war, after which their bond deepens. Although Richard is a perfect gentleman, Aggie fears the Dowager will instantly dismiss her if she finds out, for she is determined to see her son marry well and restore the family's fortunes. Her worst fears are realized. The Dowager mistakes their growing friendship for something more, and Aggie’s future is once again in doubt… but worst of all, she has to admit to herself that she has done what she was trying so hard to avoid. She has fallen in love with Lord Richard Gartrell, a relationship that is surely doomed...
