The Gift of a 50th Birthday: An Anthology of Exactly Fifty Words on Turning Fifty - Volume 1 offers a multi-generational perspective on what it means to turn 50. It is a collection of original quotes by Kassy Daggett with friends and family ranging in age from 2 to 92. What has emerged is a group memoir of sorts—filled with candor, vividness, wisdom, and playfulness—something for everyone.
This book is the perfect gift for a friend, a family member or even yourself.
"50 is formidable, no matter how you look at it. At 50 you feel young, but others may look at you as if you are old. I won’t say that doesn’t matter to me. But this book is a very sweet celebration of this age we are...or have been…or will be. Reading it is like a cup of sweet tea in the evening, lemonade on a hot afternoon, coffee to begin the day. Soothing, personal, comfortable. A true celebration.”
— Jan Eliot, 50-something, creator of the comic strip “Stone Soup”
“When a dream takes hold of you, what can you do? You can run with it, let it run your life, or let it go and think for the rest of your life about what might have been.”
—Patch Adams, M.D., physician, clown, and author of “Gesundheit!”
