Can You Hear Us Now? Cheryl Benton

"Can You Hear Us Now? is an inspiring tale of midlife women living, and loving, and making act three their best season of all." Joan Lunden, journalist, New York Times bestselling author, health & wellness advocate



"Entertaining, nuanced and complex female characters, showing us the modern woman's story doesn't end in her thirties."

Dr. Robi Ludwig, psychotherapist, award-winning reporter, author of Your Best Age is Now



Three best friends navigate the ups and downs of midlife: loss, betrayals, treachery, ageism, and new beginnings.



In the sequel to Can You See Us Now? five years have passed, and best friends Suzy, Trish, and Madge are now in their mid-fifties as their journey continues from New York City to Ethiopia and the vineyards of Long Island's North Fork. They face new crises and challenges including tragic deaths, old loves, secrets revealed, betrayals, dirty politics, the art world, ageism and corporate sharks.



Throughout it all, they continue to have each other's backs and are bolstered by the support of a thriving group of New York City women, who call themselves the Ripe Tomatoes. And they are reminded of the unbreakable bonds of friendship and its importance as we make our journey through the circle of life.
