Her husband's cheating on her. She hates Boca. Sylvia is mad and she isn't going to take it anymore. She's moving back north, to the city of her dreams--with her best friend, Evie, in tow. Think a screwball comedy featuring a sophisticated Thelma and Louise with martinis in hand . . . When sixty-three-year-old Sylvia finds her husband in bed with the floozy of their Boca retirement community, she's shocked and furious . . . at first. By the time her head stops spinning, Sylvia realizes that actually, this isn't what she wants anymore anyway. So she enlists her best friend, the glamorous older widow Evie, to join her in setting up a new life in Manhattan. Sylvia's ex-husband may have lost her life savings, but Sylvia and Evie are scrappy and determined, unopposed to pawning jewelry and roughing it in tiny apartments. And before long, Sylvia signs on to revive her decades-old wedding planning business with a former professional rival. Sylvia has a lot to prove, and beneath it all, she can't help but wonder: Will she ever be able to get back into the dating game? Sylvia doesn't want to be twenty-five or thirty again. Her age gives her wisdom, experience, and perspective. A career, sex, fun, and a new romance--her entire second act is stretched out in front of her, beckoning to her. It's her time, and watch out, world, Sylvia is coming

Sylvias liv bliver vendt på hovedet. Nu indtager hun New Yorks gader med storm! 63-årige Sylvia bor i et pensionistparadis i Florida med sin mand, men da hun finder ham i seng med en anden kvinde, bliver hendes liv vendt på hovedet. Chokeret og rasende forlader hun sit gamle liv og tager sammen med sin bedste veninde, den glamourøse ældre enke Evie, til Manhattan for at genoptage sin tidligere karriere som wedding planner. Der er dog mange bump på vejen, for Sylvias eksmand har formøblet hendes opsparing og spærret alle kreditkort. Men Sylvia og Evie er snu og beslutsomme, og de har ikke noget imod at pantsætte smykker, bo på et ungdomsherberg i New York og nette sig på et Starbucks-toilet undervejs. Det er ikke, fordi Sylvia drømmer om at være ung igen. Hun føler sig godt tilpas i sin alder, der giver hende visdom, erfaring og perspektiv, og nu skal næste del af livet erobres … En ny by, karriere, romantik, sex og sjov. Så pas på, verden, for her kommer Sylvia! Pressen skriver: "En herlig debut … Det er umuligt ikke at heppe på den stærke heltinde.“ – Publishers Weekly "En førsteklasses roman.“ – Steven Rowley "En sand perle! Hver side i denne bog er en fryd.“ – KJ Dell'Antonia "En ren fornøjelse!“ – Mary Laura Philpott "Fyldt med varme, energi og humor … Fantastisk sjov!“ – Veronica Henry „Her er den bog, alle kvinder skal læse! En sjov, vild, moden kvinde og hendes lige så fantastiske bedste veninde, der indtager storbyen.“ – Jesse Q. Sutanto "En sprudlende, skøn historie … læserne vil give denne herlige venindehistorie fra Manhattan et stående bifald.“ – Mary Kay Andrews "Skøn, underholdende og livsbekræftende chick lit med en sej, ældre kvinde i hovedrollen.“ – Lektørudtalelse

And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on." - Hillary Rodham ClintonAs a young girl growing up in the fifties, Hillary Diane Rodham had an unusual upbringing for the time: her parents told her, "You can do or be whatever you choose, as long as you're willing to work for it." Hillary took those words and ran. Whether it was campaigning at the age of thirteen in the 1964 presidential election, receiving a standing ovation and being featured in LIFE magazine as the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley, or graduating from Yale Law School, she was always one to stand out from the pack.And that was only the beginning. Today, we have seen Hillary in many roles, from First Lady of the United States to the first female Senator of New York, and most recently as the United States Secretary of State. An activist all her life, she has been devoted to healthcare reform, child care, and women's rights, among many other things. And she's still not done.Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal gives us a sharp and intimate look at the life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, American politics, and what the future holds. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs, this is the must-have biography on a woman who has always known her public responsibility, who continues to push boundaries, and who isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in.

The charge of inauthenticity has trailed Hillary Clinton from the moment she entered the national spotlight and stood in front of television cameras. Hillary Clinton in the News: Gender and Authenticity in American Politics shows how the U.S. news media created their own news frames of Clinton's political authenticity and image-making, from her participation in Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign through her own 2008 presidential bid. Using theories of nationalism, feminism, and authenticity, Parry-Giles tracks the evolving ways the major networks and cable news programs framed Clinton's image as she assumed roles ranging from surrogate campaigner, legislative advocate, and financial investor to international emissary, scorned wife, and political candidate. This study magnifies how the coverage that preceded Clinton's entry into electoral politics was grounded in her earliest presence in the national spotlight, and in long-standing nationalistic beliefs about the boundaries of authentic womanhood and first lady comportment. Once Clinton dared to cross those gender boundaries and vie for office in her own right, the news exuded a rhetoric of sexual violence. These portrayals served as a warning to other women who dared to enter the political arena and violate the protocols of authentic womanhood.
