Abstract:
"We're all getting older. How do we make the second half of our lives the best half? Forty incredible women of faith from 40 to 85 tackle aging anxieties head-on--and upend them with compelling first person stories full of humor, sass, and spiritual wisdom. In three thematic sections--Firsts, Lasts, and Always--these women provide much-needed role models for aging honestly, beautifully, and faithfully, with surprises all along the way. These are indeed the wonder years"--Back cover.
