You may retire at the lakeside, but retirement is a vast ocean. Joyful Passage: A Woman's Path to Retirement is not a book about financial security, it is about investing in personal growth. It tells the true story of one woman's approach to the retirement threshold, her struggles with the decision, identity questions, loss of status, the changes in family dynamics and friendships; and how she found unexpected joys and riches in retirement.

Reid's debut book, Joyful Passage: A Woman's Path to Retirement, discusses her journey from her first thoughts about the warp and weave of leaving her job to part time work, and, finally, to full departure.

Edwards, M.A., B.S., Retired Elementary School Teacher, author of Flip Flap Floodle and Joan's Elder Care Guide.
