    About this ebook

    So Late, So Soon is straight talk about the reality of being an old woman. Linda Anderson, author of Th e Secrets of Sadie Maynard, and other novels, writes of aging women living an altered existence. She highlights the lives of thirty women who give their commentary on senescence. We commiserate and celebrate with others of our physical age, and off er advice, some serious and some humorous, to younger women. I hope our stories give insight to younger women travelling the path, says Linda. Need I be defi ned by my age? I am not young or middle-aged or old. I am Linda.
