A moving, essential read for every woman who wants to enter her later decades with strength, clarity, and agency.” —Sevy Petras, CEO and co-founder of Priority Life Care“Through a beautiful blend of stories of lived experience and thoughtful context, Moira Welsh offers a balanced portrait of both the remarkable strength of older women and the myriad challenges we face as we enter life’s final stage. I left inspired by their resilience and resolve — and motivated to prepare for my own future older self.” — Kirsten Jacobs, vice president of Shared Learning Initiatives
