Synopsis

Join the conversation as three dynamic fifty-plus women walk and talk along the beautiful Southern California beaches about the changes, challenges, and situations in their everyday lives with understanding, encouragement, and generous helpings of laughter. No Rocking Chairs Yet intersperses the friends' witty dialogue with heartfelt e-mails as well as humorous blogs that cover everything from diet frustrations to hairdresser calamities. Peggy, a reference librarian and avid blogger, stopped counting birthdays at fifty-nine. Although her long marriage has always been solid, lately she is feeling restless, and temptation is lying in wait. Fifty-six-year-old Cassie is an English teacher who, after being dumped by an errant husband, vowed to remain single and free. But when she takes up line dancing, destiny is about to collide with her defensive stance. Recently retired nurse practitioner Barb feels as if she's in the middle of a panini sandwich-pressed on one side by her aging parents and on the other by her adult children. Will she be able to fulfill her aspirations? The women haven't the slightest hint about the surprises and life-changing decisions that lie before them in the months to come. This feel-good life-after-fifty book is a natural for women's reading groups.
