Summary
For the past ten years Edith Dexter has employed Peggy Randall as her housekeeper, but the time has come for them to part ways: Mrs. Dexter is moving after a difficult divorce. Before they can say goodbye, the women must prepare the house for potential buyers. As they go about their domestic tasks, both reflect on the hardships they have faced and on their fears of growing old alone. Though very different in class and culture, their lives have become closer than either expected, struggling with failed marriages, loneliness and the physical and mental threats of aging. A story of love and loss, Mrs. Dexter and Her Daily is a candid portrait of two elderly women dealing with the past and treading on into their senior years.
