Mary Mayhew writes new book

Did the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood make you laugh and cry? Can’t get enough of Fried Green Tomatoes? In the footsteps of these great movie adaptions of novels comes a delightfully inspiring work from Mary M. Mayhew. Great Adventure: A Coming of Age at Going on Fifty is a unique and poignant take on the trials and tribulations facing our nation’s baby-boomers as they reach toward an age of change.

The story of Muriel, the tale’s protagonist, is one that many will find both comfortingly familiar and uniquely profound. Hovering on the brink of change, Muriel faces shifting perspectives. Her views on religion, relationships, motherhood, personal power and love are all turned topsy-turvy as she handles a tumultuous adjustment in identity. Both funny and touching, Mayhew’s take on New Age religion, motherhood in the 21st century and the trails and tribulations facing today’s baby-boomer population should not be missed.

Mayhew, 57-year-old mother of two, graduated from East Tennessee State University and has been married to Ed Mayhew for 34 years. She was raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. She has written Your Star Child and co-authored Fitter After 50 and Educating Your Star Child, available through Sunstar Publishing.
