My mom Jan Curran's "fictionalized memoir" ACTIVE SENIOR LIVING is now available for purchase as a trade paperback or in a download version. Here's the cover copy:
Jan Curran, a vivacious socialite and newspaper reporter, reluctantly moves
into an Active Senior Living complex to recuperate from a brutal battle with
cancer. She tackles the surprises and challenges of her new life with warmth,
wit, and courage, meeting a colorful cast of unforgettable characters in an often hilarious yet profoundly moving story of friendship and hope.
It's the perfect book for anyone you know who is dealing with cancer…or is facing the daunting prospect of moving into a retirement home after a life on their own.
The book will soon be available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. You can find out more at the Active Senior Living blog and at Jan Curran's Facebook Fan page.
I am thrilled to see this book available — your mom, (my sister) has been working on this one for a while, and the excerpts I’ve read have been hysterical. Can’t wait to read the whole thing!
I see the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, or the acorn has been a great role model for the tree. In either case, good on your mom!!!

Hmmm, your mom’s book sounds interesting. Where can I get a copy of that? I’m looking for an inspirational book about people living inside assisted living houses. Friends who have read your mom’s book say that it made them rethink their notions of retiring homes. They like it so much they’re clinging to the thought of your mom making a sequel.
