About the Book

This is a book for adults of all ages, especially Boomer women. How many wish we could turn back the clock and erase the mistakes of youth – a face cream, if you will – for the soul?

Hello, 31 is the story of an older woman who confronts her younger self on her wedding day, in an attempt to get her to change her ways. She is not acknowledged at first and is considered just the voice of conscience by her younger self, until an unexpected crisis forces “31” to see her older self.

The interloper is told to get out of her life and leave her alone. With a mother’s love, the older woman persists until the two find a way to look at all aspects of their life with a new interpretation on old perceptions. It becomes a tumultuous journey, however, when “31” demands to know her future! The older woman refuses to divulge what will happen, but does reveal to readers the impact of all that has been.
