      Just wonderful! Truths and joys and evolving characters.. I loved this uplifting book. It's so good to have great books about 60 yr olds. Yasos!

      This is an inspiring storyline of how older women are still alive, fun, and can find love. It is well written and maintains interest. I think you will enjoy this book.
