One woman's tribute to a timeless love.

Marti English is an aspiring actress in her sixties, arriving breathless and late for an audition. Armed with an outdated headshot, a lifetime of memories, and a wonderfully irrepressible personality, she launches into a whirlwind account of the people, choices, and unexpected moments that shaped her life.

What begins as a delightfully funny audition quickly becomes something far more profound.

Through stories of her eccentric parents, youthful theatrical ambitions, and an unlikely romance with a devoted man named Sy, Marti reveals a life filled with laughter, sacrifice, heartbreak, and an extraordinary love that continues to inspire her.

As her story unfolds, we discover why this particular audition means so much—and why a simple tin of mints can hold a lifetime of memories.

MINTS is a funny, touching, and ultimately uplifting celebration of enduring love, second chances, and the courage to pursue a dream at any age.
