"I have never gotten old before. Of course, I have done many things for the first time, but this aging business really seems like another country for sure. These essays are my way of trying to make sense of it, to figure out how to live with losses without feeling lost. "
Again, Lieberman's honest look at the challenges and joys of aging brings a fresh perspective to getting older. The reader will find humor, warmth, and compassion.
Between introduction and epilogue, eleven short essays explore the surprise of disability and the happy prevalence of helpful workarounds. One talks about Lieberman’s need for fun, but another focuses on concerns about managing grief. Lieberman looks straight at death and hopes we can let ghosts we fear out of the closet. She suggests we can learn from each other’s maladies and then wonders how to deal with the medical system that often makes those maladies so challenging. She opens her heart about her political fears but ends up focusing on pleasures.
