If you're lucky enough to get that bonus time, what are you going to do with it?

For Glenda, Harmony and Jan, it's heading south to age feistily in side-by-side townhouses on St. Simons Island.

One minute they're just out of college and working together in Marshbury, Massachusetts. The next, they're using their golden parachutes to land just south of Savannah on the Golden Isles.

They're ready for reinvention, not withering on the vine. Plus all this ageism is getting really old. So they hatch a plan to take care of Butt, the dishonest, lecherous head of their HOA. To ramp up their supershero skills, they get jobs working as role players at FLETC, the massive, hot-guy-filled Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

Because age is just a number when you're taking names and kicking butt. And when your life starts to feel like an I Love Lucy episode, you know you've got the right friends.

With an adorable chihuahua-pitbull rescue named Chickpea, plenty of twists and turns, plus some terrific hacks for rocking your own bonus time, this wise and witty Claire Cook novel is filled with hope, heartache, hilarity and the power of female friendship.
