Finally a book that sets the record straight about the difficult transition advancing age imposes on all of us. This book does much to dispell the fantasies and brings you back to reality. The misconceptions about aging in today's society can bring much hardship and disillusionment when the trials and tribulations of age begin assailing us. This book does all that and more but it is also an uplifting, touching story about facing age head on and coming to terms with our mortality.
