A Gift of Friendship …
If you’ve ever wrestled with the realities of growing older, fallen into a funk after a health scare or struggled to grow your own vegetables, Susan Troccolo’s The Beet Goes On, is for you.
Troccolo’s wise and hilarious essays are like taking a road trip with your best friend. This book has it all: aging with moxie and humor, reflections on friendship, and what it means to be human.
In the title essay, Troccolo celebrates growing one measly beet only to find she has to fight with her dog over the hot-pink, buttery beet when it falls on the floor.
In “Katie and the Blue Buddha”, Troccolo rediscovers the best reason for old friends.
These escapades and more are waiting for you in The Beet Goes On, a not-to-be-missed journey of the heart.
Susan Troccolo's collection makes a perfect gift for your mother, sister, best friend.
"Having Susan Troccolo's words at your side is like spending a day with your best friend--you laugh, cry, and embrace the joy of somebody who knows you inside and out. What a priceless treasure!"
~ Dr. Judith Briles, The Book Shepherd
“It’s not often that I find a book that makes me laugh, brings a tear to my eye, and gives me food for thought all at once. I will never again eat a beet without picturing one on the floor about to be attacked, or say “yes” when I mean “no.”
~ Marilyn McFarlane, Author, Sacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions
"Simple, elegant, funny, charming. She has a zest for life that is inspirational."
~ Library Thing/The 50 Book Challenge
"When I read the page that began: "I want to tell you about what I have discovered and what I will likely need when I get old...beauty and stillness and some intelligent conversation from the heart," I picked up the phone and started reading to my best friend's answering machine.
