The death of a life partner is not only heartbreaking but can mean the loved one left behind has to forge a whole new future - often alone. In Alone Again, author Dawn Cawley reveals the grief and trauma she experienced when she lost her beloved husband Alan to cancer and became a reluctant member of a singles club she did not wish to join. With her dreams for the future shattered, Dawn realised she could hide away forever - an attractive prospect at the time - or learn to cope with her new normal and hopefully find happiness one day. This little book is a practical, simple and helpful tome for anyone who has lost their 'other half' and shows it is possible to move forward in time, after great loss.
You might be getting on a bit but that doesn't mean life can't still be fun! Dawn Cawley, a paid-up member of The Old Fart's Club certainly isn't ready to be put out to pasture just yet and shares her tips and observations on life in the slow lane. From dealing with modern technology and grandkids to old friendships and going deaf, this quirky and humorous take on later life is a must-have survival guide for all the Old Farts who aim to grow old(er) disgracefully!

NO ONE HAS SATIRIZED New York society quite like Dawn Powell, and in this classic novel she turns her sharp eye and stinging wit on the literary world, and "identifies every sort of publishing type with the patience of a pathologist removing organs for inspection."
