<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Despite their fears about media coverage of their descending derrieres, three women, all AARP-eligible, stage a 1960's rooftop 'sit-in', hoping to stave off destruction of the historic McClellan Five and Dime store. These fears soon vanish in the face of real-world reprecussions. Long-time residents of Pine Crossing, the women survive an unwanted trial, a natural disaster, the death of a parent, and a younger woman friend's romantic tribulations. Combined with the 'racier' considerations of aging, these events create a memorable year for the three friends. Shamelessly anthropomorphized, their pets function as foils, alter egos, and critics as they help the women contend with these powerful outside forces, all the while sharing their own lives and opinions."--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>"When I get old, I hope to have friends as awesome as these. This is an absolutely feel good novel. Naturally, our intrepid characters, wattles and all, undergo all sorts of trials, but it's the compassion and generosity they exhibit that endears the reader." --Sam Sanders, via NetGalley</i></b> <p/> Zany families, eccentric friends, and ne-er-do-well neighbors inhabit the labyrinthine lives of three women friends as they grapple with real world events in one "Golden Year." <p/> An unwelcome visit from local law enforcement, a younger friend's romantic chaos, and the death of a parent combine with daily mundanities--laundry, scones, and senior sex--to create a walloping, raucous read. <p/> Opinionated pets--critics and alter egos--offer a rich counterpoint to the human dramas affecting their lives. <p/> Unfiltered and compelling, this entertaining sago provides readers of all ages with a new and positive view of growing older.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A graduate of Rutgers with a degree in English, Sharon Phennah devoted a lifetime to canine coiffure.
