About the Book
Nine stories that will touch your heart. They are stories of people you will recognize--your friend, your sister, your mother, yourself. Inspiring, illuminating, and helpful.
“These stories express with great tenderness the blend of triumph and loss that is the very essence of aging. In a voice as gentle as a whisper of affection, Martha Whitmore Hickman writes about growing old as a simultaneous act of hanging on and letting go, and the stories echo with the ring of truth.”
—John Egerton, author of Generations
