Annie owns a small coffee shop near the Great Smokey Mountains and is rather content with her life. She has her family, her employees and her dog. She loves to hike in the mountains and also loves to serve God. A chance meeting with a young surgeon sparks an interest in her heart that she thought she would never feel. A bit later tragic events occur and they meet again. This time will she follow her heart? Will he find time for love? Visit Maryville and find out.

This book asks why some countries devote the lion’s share of their social policy resources to the elderly, while others have a more balanced repertoire of social spending. Far from being the outcome of demands for welfare spending by powerful age-based groups in society, the ‘age’ of welfare is an unintended consequence of the way that social programs are set up. The way that politicians use welfare state spending to compete for votes, along either programmatic or particularistic lines, locks these early institutional choices into place. So while society is changing - aging, divorcing, moving in and out of the labor force over the life course in new ways - social policies do not evolve to catch up. The result, in occupational welfare states like Italy, the United States, and Japan, is social spending that favors the elderly and leaves working-aged adults and children largely to fend for themselves.
