Author Vicki Thomas will host a Meet & Greet for her novel, From Woodstock to Wisdom: A Boomer's Journey to 80, at 1 p.m. on Sat., April 25, at the Fairfield University Store, 1499 Post Road, Fairfield, CT.

Written by one of the first Baby Boomers to reach 80, Thomas offers a front-row perspective on a generation redefining later life. Through short, engaging essays, she explores ageism, identity, health, work, relationships, loss, and reinvention without nostalgia or anti-aging clichés.

With sharp cultural observations and wry humor, Thomas tackles real-life topics like changing bodies, caregiving, technology, financial uncertainty, and becoming an influencer at 79. Each chapter blends lived experience with practical wisdom and invites readers to see elderhood as a time of voice, relevance, and contribution.
