Friends are baffled when investigative journalist Annie Anderson leaves her job to become a fashion editor. During New York Fashion Week she is unprepared for this new, ultra-glamorous world. When a designer is shot dead it looks like a robbery gone wrong, but Annie, back on familiar ground, believes it is murder! X rated, contains offensive language.

The essential manifesto for any woman staring the second half of their lives in the face and wondering, WTF is going on?

Women over forty are the most ignored demographic in society. And yet this is the time when you are likely to have the most freedom, power, confidence and self knowledge than ever before. Some serious life has been lived: there have been great loves, heartbreaks, births, marriages, careers, betrayals, bereavements and survival.

So what now? What happens when the narrative given to you by society - husband, babies, house - runs out and you become storyless?

Including chapters on menopause, sex, culture, work, rage and freedom, writer and journalist Sam Baker shares her experiences of life post 40 and shows how women to create their own story.
