The Homeowners Associations, HOA, have been around for a long time. Except for rural America, very few people have escaped having to follow their rules at sometime. The book, The Over 50 HOA is about a housing complex that is restricted to only residents, who are over the age of 50.Widowed and semi-retired criminal lawyer, Kurt Walker buys a house in one of these restricted housing areas and finds that hardened criminals are sometimes easier to deal with than the board of directors of an HOA. Kurt discovers the Gestapo-like enforcers of the neighborhood rules often transcends the laws of the legal system.The Over 50 HOA is funny, tragic, tender and thought-provoking. All the elements a good read should have.
