Helpful Score: 4


Starting with the eight-dollar purchase of a frivolous red fedora at a thrift shop, the author has spawned a network of women who meet wearing red hats and outrageous purple dresses to celebrate their age and have fun. With over 300 groups meeting locally, traveling together, and now meeting nationally, the main idea is to care for others by promoting laughter, keeping structure to a minimum, and appreciating the marvelous possibilities that women in this age group have. The author's clubby sincerity and her charming story are so infectious that in a short time most listeners will forget about her flat reading style. T.W. © AudioFile 2006
