Changing Shoes

You might be wondering what a soap opera actress, dispatched from the land of outrageous and hilarious plots, has to say about the various roles a woman plays through her life. Well, life is at times both outrageous and hilarious, and no one knows more about reinvention and perseverance than an actress who began her career as the star of a show--then became the mother of the star, and then the grandmother of the star.

In Changing Shoes, Tina Sloan addresses the issues and feelings most women have to deal with and shares humorous anecdotes of managing changes in her looks, love life, career, and family with footwear to match: broken-in black flats when taking care of her aging parents, lavender "Cinderella" shoes to seduce her husband, and pink snow boots to hike Mount Kilimanjaro. This book is filled with advice on everything from retaining the spark and zest of younger days, staying "forever frisky," expanding your world, and, as Tina puts it, "staying in the game."
