Synopsis

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.
