Description
Dumped by her husband of twenty-five years, Jo Peck—smart, successful and sixty—is totally floored.
There’s the complete bombshell of the news, the cliché of a younger woman—a much younger woman—there’s the disappointment of cancelled retirement travel plans, and there’s the foundation-rocking loss of her sense of identity—if she’s no longer Rex’s wife, who the hell is she?
She’s lost and angry and hurt and confused.
But not for long!
There’s the comfort and support of excellent friends and newly forged connections with extended family, there’s therapy. And there’s internet dating.
This inspiring, witty and at times hilarious memoir tells the story of the road from shock and despair to an unexpected new life, of friendship, romance and racy sex—proof that being suddenly single at sixty is not the end, it’s an opportunity for a fabulous new beginning.
Advance Praise
‘In the world rife with ageism, Jo Peck’s defiant memoir shows that turning sixty has nothing to do with turning your back on sex, love, or any other passions. The vitality, wit and sheer exuberance of this emotionally honest and compelling book is infectious; it’s a nourishing work.’—Lee Kofman
