Turning: The Magic and Mystery of More Days

What is it about birthdays–especially those that end in zero? The anticipation of her sixtieth birthday motivated Becky Blue to delve into the magic and mystery of her own more days. Could she free herself from the world’s well-worn view of aging and instead embrace a fresh outlook, full of surprises and serendipity? Could she leave the worry and find the wonder?

Turning follows Blue as she sets sail on her own aging journey and challenges readers of all ages to follow in her wake. Drawing on the author’s faith and experience as a geriatric nurse, this conversational memoir encourages readers to blow out their birthday candles with positivity. Read it with a friend, with a book club, or with a pen and paper (or all of the above), and discover the secret to welcoming, rather than dreading, the turning of the years.
