"The book "30 isn't Old," by Colette Petersen delves into that `age' old fear. Does life end at 30? 

Entering into my twenty-eighth year of life I grabbed this book up to see what opinions Colette had assembled on the big three 'O topic. In her book she tries to answer the main question, "What defines success?"

Petersen has joined women form every walk of life to show that as many different women there are, so are the many different versions of success...These stories will uplift and confirm any woman's choices that she questions if they were the right choice.

This collaboration gives the reader various ways to look at what a successful life before thirty can look like. She challenges the world view of being a winner and turns it on it's head with these strong women's stories that defend the choices they have made.

Does a baby define success? A successful business, someone grounded in faith, a survivor? These roles all have their own level of accomplishment. Will there be regrets? Petersen doesn't pretend that will not happen. Instead she urges us to celebrate our own definitions. Colette Petersen leaves the reader with a sense of triumph and the truth that life doesn't end at thirty, it is only just the beginning."
