While being a caregiver to her elderly parents, actress Tina Sloan set out to write a book about the experience.
But as she was writing, Sloan happened to look down at her feet.
“I was in black flats, and I realized they were a mess,” Sloan said. “They weren’t brand-new sexy ones. They were scuffed, dreadful looking ... the kind with thick bottoms. But they were comfortable. And I thought, ‘What happened to those beautiful shoes I used to wear?’ I was looking at my shoes and thinking, ‘Whoa! Something’s got to change.’ ”
Changing Shoes — the name of her book and her one-woman play — is a metaphor for life changes.
Changing Shoes: Getting Older — NOT OLD — with Style, Humor, and Grace, was published September 2010 by Gotham Books/Penguin Group.
Sloan will hold a book party (reading and signing) from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday at Tory Burch’s Worth Avenue store.
“We are happy to host Tina Sloan’s book reading at our Palm Beach boutique,” said Tory Burch. “We love her outlook on living life to the fullest in her new book Changing Shoes.”
