Two sisters. One promise. And a date with destiny neither could have foreseen. Back in the 1950s, when my younger sister Jeannie and I were kids, we made a pact not to live past age 80. We'd seen our Aunt Violet waiting to die in the nursing home, and we decided that wouldn't happen to us. We'd live life to the fullest and go out on our own terms. Little did we know what fate had in store for us. What people are saying about Eighty and Out: “A women’s historical fiction novel about the bonds between sisters, friendship, and fate, Eighty and Out will have you deliberating your destiny." ~ bestselling author Deborah Brown "A women’s fiction must-read. I absolutely loved this story. I couldn’t put it down." ~ Emma/Chick Lit Café Eighty and Out is a hard-hitting assessment of choices in aging, living, or dying wrapped in a novel format. As with any novel, it's a combination of plot, characterization and dialogue that makes a piece memorable and compelling - and Eighty and Out has these elements in droves. The sisters are close, realistic and likeable, and their pact strengthens their relationship and objectives as the years pass. The series of small dramas that make up living are deftly presented, and the story becomes hard to put down. In short, the reader falls in love with the characters of Eighty and Out, making its progression and central theme all the more poignant and moving. ~ D.
