Meet Vivian "Button" Upton, a sororist sister with a love of pink, a love of life, and a devastating diagnosis: Alzheimer's. Button's dedicated, fun-loving sisters know how to make her laugh, even through this new struggle. Meet Laney, Button's "big sister," who is famous for her snickerdoodles and is in charge of all things comfort. Then there's Helen, who rediscovers love at age eighty-one, and Ida, a devoted grandmother whose crazy side comes out around football season. As these sorority sisters come together to support Button's deteriorating mental health, they rediscover their sisterhood: offering one another the best advice on being a grandparent, finding new love late in life, and remembering what's truly important. A heartfelt novel, The Eighty-Year-Old Sorority Girls reminds us all that the sacred bonds of sisterhood can never be broken, and that the road less traveled is often the one to the greatest connection and meaning.
