Sherri Daley
“Let’s do this over-60 thing together,” proclaims Sherri Daley, co-author of the book, What We Talk About When We’re Over 60. The book is an anthology of essays written by “women who have been around…long enough to have something intelligent, funny, bawdy or deeply moving to say,” says Daley. One reviewer wrote, “This book is like having a fabulous pajama party with your best girlfriends — sharing the poignant stories that changed your lives. You’ll laugh and cry…and be inspired.”
You’ll have a chance to hear some of these stories at Founders Hall on Friday, Feb. 26, at 1 p.m. Daley, along with five of the book’s contributing writers, will read their essays on topics ranging from lost loves to parenting to obsessions and gender roles. “We think that you, especially if you’re a woman over 60, will laugh and cry and maybe gasp at these funny, enlightening and bawdy tales because they’ll remind you of your life,” says Daley. And, because she believes that we are the stories that we tell, she will give you, as an audience member, the opportunity to share a story of something that changed everything for you, whether it surprised you or made you laugh, filled you with regret or made you proud.
This event is free and open to the public, so bring your friends to listen, enjoy, reminisce and maybe even share your own story.
