One Life to Live. How are you living yours in your 60s?
No longer young but not quite old?
Less visible to the world but more visible to ourselves?
Ready to come to terms with the past, focus on the present, and look forward to the future?
With wisdom from experience, resilience that dares us to open the door to introspection, knowledge that empowers us, and compassion that enables us to forgive ourselves — and others — we possess optimism for a future that may surprise and delight us.
Some women say this is their best decade yet.
You are not alone
Women in the USA, Canada, and the UK write their honest, heartfelt truths about the decade. In this anthology, they pull back the covers on their lives, their successes, challenges, and transitions when dealing with loss, change, anticipated and unexpected, and happiness in discovering themselves. Their words resonate with readers across the decade.
Identifying a version of you for the decade
In the book, you'll find stories about work, retirement — planned and unplanned — marriage, divorce, loss, relocation, remarriage, and finding love again, financial hurdles, and dealing with estrangement. There are stories of new beginnings and new, often unexpected careers. After a lifetime of caring for everyone else, many women say that this is now their time.
Sixty is a beginning, not an ending
If you are in your sixties, the thoughtful, courageous, and inspirational words of the essayists will resonate with you. When we share our stories, we have the opportunity to learn from each other. Read heart-warming stories that will inspire you in your sixties and beyond.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Women in their sixties are no longer young but not quite old. We are at a pivotal point in our lives, ready to come to terms with the past, focus on the present, and look forward to the future.We possess wisdom that comes from experience, resilience that dares us to open the door to introspection, knowledge that empowers us, compassion that enables us to forgive ourselves--and others--and optimism for a future that may surprise and enchant us.Unlike women of earlier generations, we no longer take a seat on the sidelines and instead of concealing our age we celebrate it. We are not afraid of aging and demonstrate our fearlessness with our words and actions.If you are in your sixth decade the thoughtful, courageous, and inspirational words of the essayists who contributed to this book will resonate with you. Women write about women dealing with aging, women and retirement and older women and family relationships. This is a book for women in their sixties, the third stage of life for women. It is a book for women with contributions from women writers and can best be described as women supporting other women as they navigate the decade of their sixties.With heartfelt words women write about aging, about marriage, divorce, dating, separation and estrangement as well as celebrating decades-long relationships and finding true love later in life. They write about loss, grief and disappointment, as well as how they overcame challenges in life, their success, and how many found joy and fulfillment in unexpected places, It is a book for the times, acknowledging women's unique position in the decade of their sixties, when childcare and caring for others may now be in the rearview mirror and there is now time for each woman to dedicate to herself, without guilt or compromise. Themes of introspection and identity are discussed--and how we never quite see ourselves the way other people see us. It is an unforgettable book that will resonate with women in their sixties. For women navigating the decade of their sixties with childcare, elderly parent caretaking--sometimes work and career--largely in the rearview mirror, women are finding time for themselves. The writers share their inspirational experiences. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
