In this intimate and funny collection of essays on the
sometimes confusing, sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious
condition of being a woman over sixty, Susan Moon keeps her sense
of humor and she keeps her reader fully engaged. Among the pieces
she has included here are an essay on the gratitude she feels
for her weakening bones; observations on finding herself both an
orphan and a matriarch following the death of her mother; musings
on her tendency to regret the past; thoughts on how not to be
afraid of loneliness; appreciation for the inner tomboy; and
celebratory advice on how to regard “senior moments” as
opportunities to be in the here and now.
