Summary

This is A Book About Ripening. About the changes that life and age and time do to us, do for us; about accepting some changes, screaming about others, letting go, fighting back. It's about the land we all must enter someday, if we're lucky, and a look at why we're so afraid of going where others before us have so brilliantly, wonderfully, beautifully tread. Here we spend half our lives wanting to be all grown up, mature. And then when we get there we cower and complain and want to go back-when there is no going back. There's only going forward. So fasten your seat belts, women. And please, enjoy the ride. Book jacket.
