Amazon Editorial Review

This enchanting collection of writings and photographs evokes the beauty, humor and courage of women living in their later years and tells of the endearing moments of joy--and passion--to be found in the rich and varied world of midlife and beyond. An award-winning anthology that takes a refreshing look at issues of aging in a society that glorifies youth.

This book wasn't at all like I thought it would be.
I was expecting cute and witty and funny little old ladies running amok, what I got was mostly sad glimpses into the lives of women whose clocks are almost out of time.
A couple of the poems had me in tears and the story where the son-in-law is disgusted because the old woman soils herself at the kitchen table had me livid.
This is the most depressing book I've read this year.
Oh, and the poem about spreading my ashes in the garden and growing tomatoes simply turned my stomach ... Gross!

A long overdue wishlist tag game book.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much. I've been looking forward to this for a long time. And thanks for the warning...perhaps I'll wait just a tad longer...till spring when my mood isn't so overwhelmed by winter and holidays. It's going in my special bookcase, the one where I keep my important books.
