Saving the Best for Last

Three women write in depth about Creating Our Lives After 50

This is right up the Tempo Toronto alley, if you’ll pardon the expression. Three women – Renee Fisher, Joyce Kramer and Jean Peelen – got together to write a follow-up book to Invisible No More, The Secret Lives of Women Over 50, which presented fifty as something new. This new self help/personal growth book provides “enlightening and very real experiences of aging and reinvention”.

In this easy to read 227 pager, three women tell their real life stories in many life categories – sexuality, dating, money, faith and spirituality, our mothers, loss and friendship – and succeed in making anyone and everyone feel, well, completely normal. If nothing else, the accounts make the reader feel as if they are not alone, and that the journey we are all on is paralleled and shared by the countless over-fifties that are also rediscovering themselves, their dreams and planning a vibrant future.

It was impossible to put it down, so relevant was the material within. It can and will touch the lives and hearts of all women who read it. Our readers were unanimous in their appreciation of the open sharing that goes on in the book. We were not all to keen on the exercises at the end of each chapter, but for those who need structure the process of answering the questions for oneself can be extremely revealing moments, the epiphany some of us seek. Whether you do the exercises or not, it’s a riveting and inspiring read.
