Local author publishes a humor book

Oak Ridge Marianne Previty, a longtime resident of Oak Ridge, finally gave into the pleas of family and friends and published “The Last Box.” In this book, Previty takes the reader on a humorous 24-year journey with her family. She expounds upon many familiar situations that come up as one grows older. While filling out a form pertaining to her age, she was horrified to discover that after 65, there are no more boxes to check off hence her book’s title. Previty’s irreverent humor even pokes fun at death: “This is the year everything went, the dishwasher went, the washing machine went and grandma went.” The author describes “The Last Box” as a fun summer read and she says it makes a great gift. The book can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com. It is also available at the following area businesses: Images Hair Salon in Butler, Lynne’s Hallmark in Kinnelon and Lighting Emporium Country Gift Shoppe in Ringwood.
