“To Then and Back Again” by Jerry McMillan  is recommended and advertised at American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) page

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) empowers people to choose how they live as they age. More than 100 million Americans are aged fifty and older, and people want their money, health, and happiness to last as long as they do. AARP is a wise friend and fierce defender, focusing on the priorities of older Americans, which creates real possibilities for enhancing the quality of life for all as we age—not just serving our nearly 38 million members—is the mission. At its heart, the work that AARP and its affiliates do can be summed up in just 12 words: “We fight for and equip each individual to live their best life.”

AARP fights for individuals aged 50 and over and their families at the local, state, and national levels. We work on important issues, such as leading efforts to update Social Security and promote other retirement savings efforts to help everyone achieve lifetime financial security; promoting adequate, affordable health care, including prescription drugs and long-term care; and fostering communities with affordable and appropriate housing, as well as supportive community features and options for getting around.

Recent advocacy victories include the passage of family caregiver-support bills in dozens of states and saving residential consumers billions of dollars on utility bills in recent years. AARP is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all as we age. We lead positive social change and deliver value to members through advocacy, service, and information to make things better for society and play a positive role in communities of all kinds. AARP’s public policies serve as the foundation of our work to fight for people 50-plus and help them choose how they live and age.

Author Reputation Press (ARP) and the American Association of Retired Person (AARP) are now working together to support their respective advocacies. ARP has been publishing and marketing books written by dedicated and determined authors who dream of sharing their stories and insightful information that help and guide readers to live life better.
