“Poignant, funny and full of life, this is a balm for troubled times.” (People)

Loretha Curry’s life is full. A little crowded sometimes, but full indeed. On the eve of her 68th birthday, she has a booming beauty-supply empire, a gaggle of lifelong friends, and a husband whose moves still surprise. True, she’s carrying a few more pounds than she should be, but Loretha is not one of those women who think her best days are behind her - and she’s determined to prove wrong her mother, her twin sister, and everyone else with that outdated view of aging wrong. It’s not all downhill from here.

But when an unexpected loss turns her world upside-down, Loretha will have to summon all her strength, resourcefulness, and determination to keep on thriving, pursue joy, heal old wounds, and chart new paths. With a little help from her friends, of course.

To think I almost passed

I’m a big fan of Terry McMillan and for some reason I almost took a pass on this book. After listening to it I feel I would have missed a gem. I loved the characters and how she carefully develops them. Their like good friends in your life that show up for the reason, season, or a lifetime. I loved it and I could definitely relate to the storyline.

Wonderful story! Even if you are younger than the characters.

Good pacing of the storyline and wonderful tellling of the story. I did not realize the character were in their 70s, however I still enjoy the story tremendously.

Believe that life is not downhill from here.
