Finally, the official book of the Red Hat Society, which is sweeping the nation.

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

Believing that a woman's fiftieth birthday should be a time for celebration, not a milestone to be feared, Sue Ellen Cooper started giving a red hat to all her friends approaching the big five-oh. This soon became her signature gift. When she and her friends went to tea in full regalia (wearing a red hat and purple is a must), the first chapter of the Red Hat Society was born. In just three years, the concept spread like wildfire: There are now over three hundred thousand Red Hatters across the U.S.A., Canada, and even around the world...all forging new friendships, deepening old ones, and, most important, having fun.
You don't have to be a member to enjoy the official book of the Red Hat Society. Remember what it was like being a little girl and playing with your friends? This book shows you how to recapture that wonderful sense of joy and sisterhood. Filled with inspiring real-life stories, you'll meet other women just like you who are making peace with their bodies (finally!), learning to revel in the here and now, and striking out on exciting new adventures. Let the Red Hatters in this book help you discover what they know--that fun really does begin at fifty! Taken from jacket cover.
