A laugh-out-loud spin on the perks, pitfalls, and surprising superpowers of midlife from #1 New York Times bestselling author Laurie Notaro.

Laurie Notaro has defied all expectations: she didn’t end up in rehab, prison, or a grave at a tender age. She just went gray. At fifty-plus, every silver strand is a badge of knowledge (she can use a landline), experience (she survived cars without seat belts), and newfound audacity (gray-haired ladies can get away with anything).

Though the journey to midlife is rocky—creaking joints, junk mail from mortuaries—Laurie embraces it with humor and irreverence. From accidentally shoplifting potatoes to epic trolling on Nextdoor.com, she discovers the brilliance of aging: with every passing day, fear takes a back seat.

Fearlessly funny and refreshingly candid, this memoir is an empowering celebration of life on the other side of fifty.
