Sun City: A Love Letter to the Golden Years
Author: Kendrick Brinson
Format: Physical Hardcopy
An inspiring and vibrant photographic celebration of Sun City, the retirement community where vivacious seniors live their best lives and provide a joyful lesson to the rest of us. The American culture worships youth.
So often the media depict aging as lonely, boring, and a time of grief. Sun City offers a rebuttal to that mindset.
Sun City is a retirement city in Arizona, with almost 40,000 residents, 55 and older. The desert community opened in 1960, and today it encompasses 14.6 square miles of homes, shops, churches, rec centers, bowling alleys, pools, and 120 clubs, such as art, music, dance, sports, dance.
Residents are on average 72 years old, and many are in their 80s and older. And all are active.
Some are out playing pickleball, participating in synchronized swim meets, at cheerleading practice with the city's own squad, the Sun City Poms. The city and its residents are living life to the fullest.
Through more than 200 gorgeous photos, quips from its residents, such as "It's like recess seven days a week;" "I grow young in Sun City;" and "This is not God's waiting room;" and reflections from the author, Sun City encapsulates the humorous and heartwarming spirit of this one-of-a-kind place.
