Description:
Those of us who are over sixty are not amused at being compared to aging wine, and certainly not cheese.
In this book thirty of us - writers, educators, businesswomen, motivational speakers, mothers, grandmothers, retirees, an artist, a hairdresser, a psychic, a farmer, a psychologist, and a burlesque dancer - each share a story about something that changed everything. We think that you - especially if you're a woman over sixty - will laugh and cry and maybe gasp at these funny, enlightening, and bawdy tales because they'll remind you of your own life. So read, enjoy, and reminisce.
Then have fun talking about What We Talk About with your friends. You'll end up saying, "We could write a book, too!" We promise.
Brief description: Sherri Daley and Linda Hughes were college roommates in 1966-7. They've remained friends ever since, being there for each other through life's ups and downs - and more ups and downs. They've done a lot of laughing, some crying, and a fair share of reminiscing about all that's been. The impetus for this book was to share that feeling of friendship and support with other women. Every woman has a story to tell, and our friends are the most likely to appreciate hearing it. These two authors hope this book encourages women everywhere to share their stories, too.
Review Quotes:
"Can we talk? This book is like having a fabulous pajama party with your best girlfriends - sharing the poignant stories that changed your lives. You'll laugh and cry... and be inspired!" Connie Glaser, Best-selling author and women's leadership expert
"Perfectly non-perfect women. I can't walk by anyone now, man or woman, without thinking. . . 'hmmm, I wonder what story THEY have to tell.' This book is such a treasure. I feel like I've invited the most witty, kind, insightful, bright, perfectly non-perfect women into my little house for a chat. The stories each tells are varied yet all captured my interest and have stayed with me even after putting the book down. Pick it up. You won't be sorry." Reader Review
"Making me believe the next decade of my life will be wonderful no matter what life hands out. I am not over 60 yet, but wanted to get some insight into the wisdom of women before I reached that milestone. Well written. Stories touch on relationships and life with men, trials and tribulations of growing up, lessons learned. Many of their experiences touched my heart, making me believe that the next decade of my life will continue to be wonderful regardless of what life hands out!" Reader Review
"Buy this book! I can't put this down. Although I am not yet sixty, I can identify with the stories of these women as I laugh, cry and enjoy reading thier stories. Which brings me to the point of, I believe, this book: everyone has a story and this book is a delightful collection of tales from real people." Reader Review
