Often referring to the other as \"father\" or \"mother\", the couple have remained as affectionate and passionate as newlyweds, and both are energetic despite their old age. Though they feel young and full of life, their adult daughter, with whom they share a difficult relationship with, and the rest of society, hardly agrees. It is suggested that the couple consider retiring and moving to an assisted living facility. Disenfranchised and underestimated, Mrs. and Mr. Appleby resent the assumption that their lives are over, and in attempt to satiate their desires and prove the others wrong, they decide to take a risk. Working toward a long-held dream, the Appleby's risk their life savings to open a roadside caf  in New England, despite the protests and doubts of their daughter. Excited and optimistic, the two begin their business journey ready for any obstacle in their way, or so they thought. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough first published in 1917, \u003ci\u003eThe Innocents: A Story for Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e by Sinclair Lewis depicts themes and attitudes applicable to modern audiences over one hundred years later.
