There has never been a better or more celebrated time to be a woman over fifty. In this spirit, Blair shares more than 150 short essays, each covering an individual topic relating specifically to women and aging, such as our health, our fears and joys, our loves and family relationships, our bodies our work and much more. Every topic is followed by a series of questions designed to guide you through a process of understanding yourself in relation to aging.

In helping women re-envision their lives in the road ahead, Blair enables readers to work through our own self-limiting beliefs by encouraging us to dive passionately into what we love and reinvent or discard the aspects of ourselves that we would change. She even includes a special section examining love and relation-ships, along with tips on managing finances and
sharing our decisions with family and friends.
