New York: Sarah Crichton / Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (2009) dj. Hardcover first edition - A book which focuses on the "chapter in life as characterized by people between fifty and seventy-five - who are considered 'neither young nor old.' . . a time when many women and men seem to be embracing new challenges and searching for greater meaning in life. Lawrence-Lightfoot challenges the still prevailing and anachronistic images of aging by documenting and revealing the ways in which the years between fifty and seventy-five may, in fact, be the most transformative and generative time in our lives, tracing the ways in which wisdom, experience, and new learning inspire individual growth and cultural transformation."
