Now That I’m Fifty is a collection of stories about women at the 50 milestone. Some are looking back, wondering what to do about their spreading behinds, others are getting ready to fly out into the dangerous world, leaving their safe and secure homes. These stories are about journeys that begin at 50, either within oneself or outside, in the big bad world. One woman deals with a broken marriage by learning how to salsa, another begins seeing things, while a third finds a new friendship with a stranger in a park and cannot stop herself from thinking the unthinkable. Ordinary, everyday things are different when you’re 50 and time is running out. Now That I’m 50 is about women at 50, not young but not old either!
