Product Description
Best friends Kate Klimo and Buffy Shutt are prototypical baby boomer women--they've both gotten married, had kids, built their careers, and somehow managed to juggle it all. But as Kate and Buffy approached 50, they suddenly found themselves facing a whole new set of challenges for which they were surprisingly ill-prepared. Buffy suddenly lost her high-powered corporate joband had to forge a new identity (and career) for herself. Kate's world was turned upside down when her ailing mother came to live with her family.

A transformative experience awaits the women lucky enough to read this book! December 19, 2006

I attended a workshop hosted by the authors and was blown away by how this book affected me. I love its practical advice on how to organize the second half of one's life and also the message of sisterhood-- we're all growing old together! As a result, I have purchased this book for all my closest girlfriends as Christmas gifts and plan to host regular tea parties (as suggested in the book) to work our way through the exercises together with my buddies. So boil up some Earl Grey and pass out the plates for a slice of life for women approaching a certain age (or those of us who are already there but lie about it!)
Wonderful book! January 11, 2007

What a lovely book! I found reading this book to be like having lunch with two slightly older, and wiser friends. I came away with so much useful information, as well as a comforting sense of affirmation--these are things we all need to remember, things that we all go through. As a woman in my early thirties, I honestly wasn't sure how much of the book would apply to me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Topics of balancing your work/personal life, maintaining the sparkle in your marriage, and dealing with aging parents all seemed perfectly suited to things I think and worry about. I'm sure it will bear re-reading as I get older, as well. Possibly the best part of the book is that the authors strike a nice balance with the advice--it's never preachy, and their fallible examples from their own lives make sure of that. I'll definitely buy it as a gift!
Lots of good ideas March 8, 2007

There are so many great ideas to explore and think about in this book. The authors cover a wide variety of concerns that you may or may not have thought about. I especially like that they give you steps or methods to follow on your own. It's not a book that you need to read cover to cover all at once so you can be selective about when and what you want to discover about your own journey.
Great way to start 2007 January 1, 2007

A close friend bought me the book as a "kick in the butt" to get going on long delayed projects that I've put off in favor of family obligations. Well let me tell you, this book is a GREAT tool for getting yourself revved up not only for the new year, but for the "second half" of your life. I love the upbeat, practical, and warm approach to not just letting life "happen" but engineering what YOU want.
It's a fabulous book and I plan to give it to all of my friends this year as they turn 50!
I give the book an A plus!!!

If you've worked hard, raised, kids and/or built a career....and aren't sure what to do now that you've done your part -- this is THE book to help you through an often difficult, puzzling time. I bought it as a gift for two friends as well.
