Psychotherapist and executive coach Anelisa MacBean says of the book:

candid and poignant ..... dilemmas, anxieties, surprises and joys of getting older ..... [told] with wit and wonder ..... tells the truth, whether funny or painful to hear ..... leaves readers intimately connected, more accepting of themselves ..... a wonderful gift to anyone navigating the frontier of gowing old.
