Friends With Social Security Benefits - Elizabeth Barstone

Retirement isn't the end of life-it's the beginning of chasing washed-up celebrities and fighting mistresses over grave plots!

Philadelphia "Del" Powers has a solution for every problem-and believes anyone can do anything with a little creativity. When Social Security doesn't cover the bills, she ropes her best friend, Frances "Frankie" Krane, into tackling their Never-Got-To-Do list. Frankie, struggling to cope with her own situation, isn't sure she's ready for Del's whirlwind of wild ideas-but Del won't take no for an answer.

From serving her grandkids ice-cream on their cereal (because "it'll melt into milk!") to chasing a washed-up celebrity on a cruise, Del's schemes may cause chaos, but they just might help Frankie-and everyone else around her-find a way forward.

Full of laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming surprises, and one woman's unstoppable determination to make life better for everyone, Friends With (Social Security) Benefits is a story about reinvention, friendship, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.
