Chatty Cathy

It’s no fun feeling like a cassette tape in an MP3 world. Cathy, who may be like a senior citizen you know, feels cruelly disconnected from the rest of the world because she cannot use a cell phone. Being expected to master satellite television, cable boxes, DVDs, digital cameras, and computerized cars was bad enough, but when her grandchildren disappear from her life because she can’t test, the camel’s back breaks and so does her heart. Cathy takes a one-way trip to oblivion until a stranger on a train teaches her the ins and outs of LOL. Can she rejoin the rest of the world and reconnect with her grandchildren?

Senior citizens everywhere discover someone like themselves with Cathy. Her journey from an IBM typewriter to an embarrassingly brilliant smart phone will help the older loved one in your life start using a cell phone and learn that they are not the only cassette tape in an MP3 world.

The book is short, formatted in LARGE PRINT with extra line spacing between sentences, an easy read for those with challenged eyesight and shorter attention spans.
