What if you closed your eyes, blew out the candles, and your wish came true?

Ellie Jerome is a young-at-heart seventy-five-year-old who feels she has more in common with her twenty-nine-year-old granddaughter, Lucy, than her fifty-five-year-old daughter, Barbara. Ellie’s done everything she can to stay young, and the last thing she wants is to celebrate another birthday. So when she finds herself confronted with a cake full of candles, Ellie wishes more than anything that she could be twenty-nine again, just for one day. But who expects a wish like that to come true?

29 is the story of three generations of women and how one magical day shakes up everything they know about each other. While Ellie finds that the life of a twenty-something is not as carefree as she expected, the sheer joy of being young again prompts her to consider living her life all over. Does she dare stay young for more than this day, even if it means leaving everyone she loves behind?

Fresh, funny, and delightful, 29 is an enchanting adventure about families, love, and the real lessons of youth. 

The author of THE TEN BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE (Plume), which has sold to FOX motion pictures (with Amy Adams attached to star) and was a bestseller for Heyne in Germany (100,000 copies sold), delivers another delightful novel about a young woman and her family, though this time she happens to be in an old body. 75-year old Ellie Jerome makes a wish on her birthday to have just one day to once again feel what it was like to be young. When her wish comes true, and she spends the day hitting the town with her 29-year-old granddaughter, both she and we learn the true meaning of family. And that it really sucks to get old.
