内容简介：
Dee-O, a young black man, obtained a job as a maintenance person at a facility that cared for geriatric residents. He and his mother were devoted to each other. They lived in an apartment in the city in an area that had changed for the worse in recent years. They had wanted to move, but their opportunities were limited. Dee-O had not been around older people before, other than his grandmother, and he was exposed to situations about living, dying, and handling family members that were new to him. What was it about the residents passing time on Bridge Water Lane that helped Dee-O to mature? What opportunities presented themselves at the nursing home to help a young man become a productive citizen? Would Dee-O find that he was a better man than his father? To learn more, pass time on Bridge Water Lane.
