MESA, Ariz. - Marylandian -- Generation X is stepping into the spotlight—not with loud protests or viral TikToks, but with resilience, humor, and a hefty side of multitasking. In her highly anticipated new book, Hold My Capri Sun: Gen X's Survival Guide to Parenting Parents, Coaching Millennials, and Keeping Your Sanity, author Jenny Lowery delivers a heartfelt, funny, and practical guide for Gen Xers caught between aging parents, grown kids, and a world changing at warp speed.

"We've always been the glue that holds everything together," says Lowery. "This book is for everyone balancing medical appointments for their parents, helping with job interviews for their Millennial kids, and homework help for Gen Alpha—all while trying to remember if they already ran the dishwasher today."

Hold My Capri Sun is more than a caregiving guide. It's a relatable roadmap for navigating modern family life without losing your sanity—or your sense of humor. Packed with personal stories, practical advice, and the sharp wit Gen X is known for, Lowery covers everything from:

• Parenting your Baby Boomer parents (hint: they still think yelling at Alexa helps)
• Managing healthcare and financial decisions for older family members
• Coaching Millennial and Gen Z kids through modern adulting without enabling
• Bridging the digital gap with Gen Alpha grandkids (and mastering the art of emoji use)
• Finding humor and joy amid multigenerational chaos
