Enter the world of Ann Fry, a 60-year young, independent woman embarking on a journey of starting anew and finding herself. The story begins with Ann blowing out the candles on her 60th birthday cake, announcing to her friends and family that she’s ready to leave her home of Austin, Texas and move to New York City. And, so begins the journey. Ann kept a journal of her adventure, from flying out of Austin, to landing in NY for 10 days, to deciding to move, actually moving and then of her first two-and-a-half years in the Big Apple. It’s a story filled with honesty, humor, the realities of dating at this age, anxiety about “surviving in the Big Apple,” physical concerns, loss, a few details from the past, and finally, the triumph of reinvention success. In August of 2009, Ann was diagnosed with breast cancer and spent the last 8 months having two surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation. She blogged the whole way through, wrote her reinvention workbook during this time, and continued to inspire people with her story. Now, Ann is in the process of her next "iteration".
