Book Description
"It's never too late to be who you might have been." George Eliot, 19th Century English novelist One of the biggest hurdles people over 50 have to overcome is the mindset about their age. There's an old clich of "age ain't nothin' but a number." But as we all know, getting older does have certain obstacles such as dwindling health, limited income, and the end of long-time careers followed by "now what in the heck do I do?" Yes, age is the number of candles on a birthday cake, and a stark reality of things to come. But getting older isn't... ...a deal breaker. ...a reason you can't start a business or any other new venture. ...a limit on success. ...a valid excuse for inaction. ...a valid excuse to give up on your dreams. Here are 50 people who overcame the very same things you are facing right now. Let them show you the way to outrageous success and happiness regardless of your age or circumstances.

Granny D
Author: Doris Haddock
Publisher: Villard
ISBN: 0375506756
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
"There's a cancer, and it's killing our democracy. A poor man has to sell his soul to get elected. I cry for this country." On February 29, 2000, ninety-year-old Doris “Granny D” Haddock completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. She walked through 105-degree deserts and blinding blizzards, despite arthritis and emphysema. Along her way, her remarkable speeches — rich with wisdom, love, and political insight — transformed individuals and communities and jump-started a full-blown movement. She became a national heroine. On her journey, Haddock kept a diary — tracking the progress of her walk and recalling events in her life and the insights that have given her. Granny D celebrates an exuberant life of love, activism, and adventure — from writing one-woman feminist plays in the 1930s to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1960 to Haddock’s current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown of Dublin/Peterborough, New Hampshire — Thornton Wilder’s inspirations for Grovers Croner in Out Town — a quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity and can-do attitude. Told in Doris Haddock’s distinct and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move, amuse, and inspire readers of all ages with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.
