The sub-title of the book is "Reinventing the Years Beyond Mid-Life". I have no plans to re-invent myself but I still found this book to be an interesting read. The authors traveled the country to interview women 60 and older about contemporary issues. So this book is comprised of the stories of real women! Chapters included downsizing (and dealing with adult children who still want you to store all of their "precious" childhood momentos), the relationship with adult children (who now sometimes want to treat you as a child who can't make good decisions), living in this new world with all of the technology, and dealing with health and loss issues. It was a quick read and filled with lots of insight. I believe most women "of a certain age" would find some soul sisters within the covers of this book. Also I think it would be useful for younger women with senior parents - you will get a lot of insight!
