Pushin 50: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Becoming Whole is the raw, riveting journey of a woman who has lived through it all-and came out stronger, softer, and unapologetically whole.

With candor and courage, Joy Terrea Samuels opens the doors to her life, taking readers through the highs and heartbreaks that shaped her. From growing up without a present father to surviving a devastating house fire, a failed marriage, and raising three children as a single mother-Joy doesn't just tell her story, she owns it.

She reflects on the weight of love, the ache of loss, and the healing that came when she finally turned inward. Joy saw life and death up close-an experience that redefined what truly matters. And even after losing her job, facing grief, and navigating betrayal, her faith never broke.

This memoir is for every woman who's ever been doubted, dismissed, or made to feel like her best years are behind her. It's for the ones still standing, still growing, and still dreaming-especially the ones pushin' 50.
