"Why not live dangerously for a change?"
SOPHIE REDESIGNED is the first in a series of Sophie and Sam collaborations to solve crimes committed under Sophie's sharp nose for trouble. Elder issues drive the plots while family ties are tested, including Sophie's relationship with her son Robin, who thinks "active retirement" should not mean sneaking around the country for clues. Then there's the problem of growing warmth between two senior citizens who are past their romantic prime. Or are they?
Karen Dahood is a septuagenarian whose nonfiction writing career has included all of the arts and humanities and some health care. Elder issues became a special interest as she witnessed older friends and family members struggle to keep their dignity in a culture of ageism and denial.
