helpful book on aging I’ve seen in a

agenda-driven.” —The Rev. Cynthia

elders in your life.” —J. David Forbes,
MD, president, American Holistic Medical
Association “With engaging, witty and

profoundly wise book that satisfies both
mind and heart.” —Marjorie J. Thompson,
pastor; author, Soul Feast: An
Invitation to the Christian Spiritual
Life “Candid, clear and full of
surprising wisdom about the things we
dread or deny. I’d buy it for any friend
over fifty.” —Marjory Zoet Bankson,

helpful and timely—exactly what I expect
from Linda Douty.”
