Summary

TAKE THIS PERSONALLY WITH MORGAN: Morgan sits down with three extraordinary residents of Abe’s Garden — Dave, Sandra, and Carol — whose life stories are rich with love, loss, resilience, and reinvention. Dave reflects on his 24 years in the Navy, the serendipitous moment he met his wife, and his candid thoughts on the state of the world. Sandra shares how she became a first-time published author at 83, and why getting divorced was one of the best things that ever happened to her. And Carol opens up about her 56-year marriage, raising five children, and the quiet strength it takes to face life’s twists and turns. These heartfelt conversations are full of humor, wisdom, and timeless reminders that it’s never too late to grow, dream, and keep writing your story.
