Nancy Merz Nordstrom didn’t publish her first book, or even write her first book, until she turned 61 and she hasn’t slowed down since.

Nordstrom’s book, “Learning Later, Living Greater: The Secret for Making the Most of Your After 50 Years,” focuses on lifelong learning. 

She had to take new chances after her husband died of a heart attack in 1993. Since then, she’s been learning how to continue to grow bolder.
