A Ballard resident, Susan Towle, is launching her first book, Old Is Not A Four-Letter Word: A Guidebook For The Journey Through Old, on Friday, June 12th from 6PM – 7:30PM at the Secret Garden Book Shop (2214 NW Market Street Seattle, WA 98107) in Ballard.

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.

I thought your readers might be interested to come and hear readings from the book, ask questions about aging, enjoy a wonderful neighborhood independent bookstore, and then stroll the vibrant Ballard village afterwards.
