Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Growing older is a universally dreaded life experience, but this is the very topic author and humorist Ruth Yunker tackles in BABY, I'M THE BOS OF ME. A book of elegant and sparkling tales taken from her own life, part memoir, part self-help, it is an exuberant appeal to fearlessly embrace the grace and power of growing older, using the powerful forces of humor and optimism. Yunker's stories provide enlightening and quixotic examples as to how to tackle what promises to be a rich, wonderful and indeed amazing experience, while maintaining one's sanity and joie de vivre.Yunker has lived a multi-faceted and well-traveled life. She was a perennial New Kid at school. To her horror, she was the last girl in her sixth grade class to get a bra. She compares her infant's tiny heads, moments after their births lying quietly on her chest, to her mother's head, moments after her death, lolling so heavily in the same place. She writes of nervously informing her grown daughter of her pending facelift. She writes about her wayward eyebrows turning white, about the deaths of President Kennedy, John Lennon and Shirley Temple, about eating with one's hands, and the sudden need for Spanx. She mourns losing her power in the grocery store line and triumphs when she gets it back.Ruth Yunker has found a way to tackle the coming of an old age that promises to be a fabulous continuation of the fulfilling life she is living now. She plans to use optimism, power and humor to see her though.And she tells you how you can do it too.…
