A Love Story for Romantics

When  Olivia the daughter of a housekeeper meets Ted’s wealthy family she feels she’ll never belong in his world and sends Ted off to Julliard, thinking she no longer loves him, to pursue his dreams of becoming a concert violinist.

Dispelling the Myths of Aging

You know Ashton Applewhite is onto sometime about aegism when (despite the fact that is a highly regarded writer and has published other books), she couldn’t find a publisher who would publish a book on ageism. “Too depressing, not marketable” were some of the comments she got.  So she self-published, and let me tell you, This Chair Rocks is fun, witty, smart, well researched and will dispel a lot of your fears about growing older as she debunks a lot of the myths about aging that keep us awake at night.  She reminds us that aging is natural.
