Juicy Tomatoes? |
|||||
You know who I mean. It's no mystery. They're women probably like yourself. Grown-up, no-apologies women who hit mid-life and keep going. They're the ones inside this book, the ones with the RIPE STUFF...like Jane Fonda: "We're remaining healthier than women used to. We're in the market place. We're involved in self discovery. We're everywhere." Mexican B&B owner Dianne Kurshner: “It was time to change my life, take a risk. When I opened the door I had $150 left in the world.” TV anchor Barbara Rodgers: "Women used to panic when they turned fifty but now we see it opening a door of possibilities. I'm not sure what changed but I think it was us." Ronni Egan, director of Great Old Broads for the Wilderness: "Trees, cockroaches, we're all in this together." |

Susan is an author and newspaper columnist. This is her second book on the women she calls Juicy Tomatoes. She explains: "I'll tell you where I got the title. From a friend over lunch, where else? She told me she was considering a marriage proposal. And with a nod to her age and her expectations she took a sip of wine and drawled, "After all, I am getting to be a pretty juicy tomato." contact the author: View Tomatoes from Around the WorldTomato TributeNominate the juiciest woman in your life.
