Move Over Nancy Drew . . . Meet The Badass Widows/Valerie Saul

About this episode

Valerie Saul discusses her novel featuring older women as detectives, emphasizing empowerment and reinvention at any age.

Who says you age out of adventure? Not Valerie Saul. In this episode of Inside the Moms Club , we meet first-time author Valerie Saul, whose novel flips the script by featuring a group of older women who aren't fading into the background . . . they're solving a full-blown mystery. We talk about what inspired her to write bold female characters, why "women of a certain age" make the best detectives, and how it's never too late to reinvent yourself or write your first book. It's funny, empowering, and proof that the most underestimated people in the room may just be the smartest. Because honestly . . . if anyone is going to solve a mystery, it's the women who've already seen everything.
