A Ballard resident is launching her first book tonight at Secret Garden Book Shop (2214 NW Market St.). Susan Towle will read from her book Old Is Not A Four-Letter Word: A Guidebook For The Journey Through Old from 6 to 7:30 p.m. this evening (Friday, June 12).
From the organizers:
After 40 years as a registered nurse with deep elder care experience both in the US and internationally, Susan developed a passion and desire to share her insights and lessons learned about the aging process. It’s a book we all need to be reading, on behalf of ourselves, our parents, and (if we are lucky enough) our grandparents. She wrote this book with the purpose of providing a guidebook to help each of us navigate the journey through old. This book outlines in simple terms the planning, the tips and the how-tos that this journey requires.
