Can You See Us Now?
Three best friends rebel against unsolicited AARP cards, hot flashes, bosses, becoming invisible, and the perceptions of what’s old. Suzy, Trish, and Madge, best friends since their early twenties, seemed to have it all. Beautiful, smart, and successful, they'd made it to the top in the most demanding city of them all, New York. Then they turned 50 and found that the world which once was their oyster started closing up faster than a New York minute. Bartenders ignore them, bosses marginalize them, and they’ve aged out of the prized 25-49-year-old demographic that marketers woo. They had suddenly become invisible. Inspired by their friendships with a supportive and thriving group of New York City women, who call themselves the “Ripe Tomatoes,” Suzy, Trish, and Madge start to realize the power of saying, “YES,” and that living your dreams has nothing to do with age. And since no one else was celebrating women over 50, Suzy, Trish, and Madge started a business to do just that. A funny and moving insider’s story about New York City’s not-so-invisible women over 50 and beyond, who are living their lives to the fullest, achieving dreams, dating, having sex, and sometimes even falling in love again. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll root them on, and you’ll never think about age the same way again.

Amazon Customer Review

Wow! Got to say, I was hooked from the first page. The themes of the book resonated with me. I identified in so many ways, even as I was devouring the novel as a page-turner. Cheryl Benton has pulled off a true "hat trick": a three-punch combo of 1) Relatible characters you feel like you know. 2) A plot full of unforeseen turns and twists that hinge on the importance of our women friends as we get older, a cheating spouse, feeling invisible, older women and younger men-- and finally 3) How changing our own attitudes can help combat ageism in corporate America and in the world at large. Ladies, trust me, this is a must-read.

Can you See Us Now? is A Sex and the City-like tale for a more mature audience, but just as fun, with a serious as a heart attack message: that women of a certain age are not invisible, but rather are relevant, viable, sexual, powerful people doing important things, (attention Madison Avenue and Hollywood). At the heart of this urban romance dramedy is a constant thread… the enduring power of true friendship. --Valerie Smaldone Media Worldwide
