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best days are behind herβand sheβs determined to prove wrong her mother, her twin sister, and everyone else with that outdated view of aging wrong.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