And from Jennifer Niven author of The Ice Master and Ada Blackjack

"In addition to being an engaging page-turner, Invisible No More is an invaluable, enlightening handbook whether you are over 50 or under it.

Consider it a necessary and indispensable companion on the journey toward growing up and growing older. At 36, I wondered if a book subtitled The Secret Lives of Women Over 50 would be able to speak to me. It not only spoke to me, but, with 40 hovering on the horizon, it seemed to read my mind, helping to address my numerous aging-process questions, anxieties, and fears. Thank goodness these three inspiring women had the courage to share their individual and collective experiences with candor, wisdom, humor, and sincerity; to talk frankly about life after 50; to let those of us under 50 know what’s in store for us and what lies ahead (the good, the bad, and the beautiful); and to let those over 50 know they’re not alone.

I laughed out loud, I cried, I underlined, I dog-eared, and I read whole sections to women friends of all ages. I couldn’t put it down. And in the end, instead of fearing the inevitable as I’ve come to do—the next birthday and the next and the ones beyond that—I now find myself taking a breath and thinking, 'It’s all going to be fine.'

Actually, it’s going to be better than fine because there is so much to look forward to.”

Inside the Cover

Invisible No More: The Secret Lives of Women Over 50 shares the illuminating personal experiences of three women who have faced the challenges of aging.

Authors Renee, Joyce, and Jean tell their three very individual stories of a journey to age fifty and beyond with grace, humor, and humility, sparing no details in revealing their ordinary yet outrageous lives. Believing that fifty is not merely an age marked by time or another milestone to cross, Renee, Joyce, and Jean will inspire you to reevaluate the direction your own life is taking, teach you to be open to taking risks, and gently encourage you to seek the infinite possibilities that lie ahead of you. The three authors speak candidly about several topics, including:

As you too pass the threshold of fifty, you may discover, as these three women did, that it is a moment in your life to celebrate—a beginning, rather than an ending.

What Reviewers Are Saying

“The three authors of Invisible No More took an enormous gamble with the structure of their book—and the result is sheer magic”.
 
“Each of the women is an accomplished writer with a singular, unique voice. If readers lay down this book for, say, 30 minutes, and then return to it, they will know immediately if they’re reading an essay by Jean—or by Joyce—without referring back to the author’s name above the selection.”

“Each of the women writes with unusual confidence, humor, and assurance.”

“Their book is a triumph of tone, truth, and contemporary observation, a brilliant stand against ageism and gender politics, as well as a satisfying, unflinchingly statement of purpose for these witty, gripping accounts of three women who survived several decades of changing definitions of a woman’s place, purpose, and identity.”

“[the authors} are inspiring, readable, witty, and sometimes bawdy.”

i-Universe Editorial Review

Invisible No More deals with issues that women are facing today. It's timely and refreshingly candid about a world that

our mothers never had to face. It's a behind the scenes look at the generation of women who changed the role of women in America.
