Herself Surprised, the first volume of Joyce Cary’s remarkable First Trilogy, introduces Sara Monday, a woman at once dissolute and devout, passionate and sly. With no regrets, Sara reviews her changing fortunes, remembering the drudgery of domestic servitude, the pleasures of playing the great lady in a small provincial town, and the splendors and miseries of life as the model, muse, and mistress of the painter Gulley Jimson.

A synchronized swimming coach pops pills during practice, a bagpiper cold-cocks a hawk, and an orphan puts her fist through a window, discovering in the engine noise of a jet passing overhead, the perfect witness to her inner pain. In this debut collection from prizewinning short story writer Malinda McCollum, people adrift in the American Midwest struggle to find their way in the world, with few signposts for guidance. Set largely in Des Moines, Iowa, over the expanse of several decades, these twelve stories explore the surprising places where our outsized longings may lead us. In prose as lean and unflinching as an Iowa winter, these stories offer confrontation and consolation in equal measure.

A basic question is what can we do to prepare for the unexpected so that we can continue to live our current lifestyle during retirement? There are so many possibilities for disruption. And, these disruptive influences can come from a variety of sources, beyond simply financial implications. They can readily include medical, marital events, and dealing with dependent children. It so very critical to create that plan for retirement. Not only will that plan keep you active, allow you to pursue your passions, encourage self-reinvention and happiness, but also it will assist you in preparing for the unexpected. By nature, we may assume that surprises during retirement are of a negative nature. However, surprises that start out negative can readily lead to positive changes.
