Synopsis

"Voices Of Older Women" is a book about the plight of older women - their disconnection from their families, difficulties with communication and the sense of loss they feel at being ignored. It is a revealing book about what older women think about life and the world around them. It explores why they hold back and why their adult children don't want to know what's really going on. "Voices Of Older Women" tells the truth about these older women. They are the natural problem solvers, teachers, holders of life stories, and keepers of secrets. But they are also lonely and afraid to ask for help. "Voices Of Older Women" is a call to action. The older women hidden in our society, the Baby Boomers and Generation Xers need to get together and talk, to build trust, and learn from each other like we used to. How will you navigate the last third of life's journey? If you're not already there and you haven't thought much about it, it is about to hit you in the face. Be ready!
