Memphis, TN – Author Sally Thomason doesn't only want to grow old gracefully; she wants to grow old with authenticity and a beginner's mind. And as it turns out, she's not the only one. Women around the Mid-South including Lenny Neely, amateur photographer, and Diane Stokes Turner, manager of a Memphis beauty shop-- take a fresh look at coming of age.

Thomason spoke with producer Sarah Ledbetter about the experiences that went into the writing of her first book, The Living Spirit of the Crone, and why life beyond the script of middle age is a whole new world.
