If you think your forties were challenging-wait until youre fifty. Just dont wait until youre fifty to read this book. Its easier to handle this momentous change of life if youre armed with good information, a sense of humor and, perhaps, a stiff drink. Fifty doesnt happen overnight-the journey into midlife takes years and its different for everybody, female and male. Some start earlier, some start later, but in the end, its all the same: By the time youre fifty adjustments are called for. This book is about helping women (and men, to some extent) navigate the changes that midlife brings. It gives credence, validity and voice to real concerns about entering middle age and practical advice on preserving and/or improving minds, bodies, desirability, confidence and creativity going forward. The book covers a broad range of topics from the perspective of midlife veterans, members of a silent majority of women that have a lot more to talk about than hot flashes and other physical manifestations of middle age. It is characterized by straightforward, conversational language, humorous anecdotes, helpful suggestions and an unwavering focus on reality, no matter how controversial or unorthodox. Women are hungry to hear about other womens experiences in this area-and men are anxious to learn how to relate to the changing women in their lives as they are going through their own changes. They are all looking for relief-comic and otherwise. MINDY LITTMAN HOLLAND wrote this book based on personal experience and interviews with dozens of women and men who had something to say about the joys and adversities of midlife. In addition to writing non-fiction, she writes long and short fiction. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
