Teddy was Brydie Benson’s latest problem, arriving on top of her messy divorce and sudden move. Brydie needed a place to start over, so this rent-free home seemed a great idea. She just never counted on Teddy, or his owner, the Germantown Retirement Village’s toughest customer, Pauline Neumann.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd because rent-free doesn’t mean bills-free, Brydie gets a night-shift job at a big-box grocery.
