Old Age Doesn't Have to Suck ... Entirely

Trish Sara is a 68-year-old grandmother, mother of two and wife of 36 years. She has been a public relations consultant, retailer, website owner and in more recent years a counsellor specialising in working with mature women. Throughout her life she has been a keen observer of others, particularly their relationships and behaviours. In this, her first book, she makes observations about her own ageing process and offers her conclusions about ageing well, writing anecdotes about these with wisdom, candour and self-deprecating humour.
