About this title

From the Publisher:

GROW OLD ALONG WITH ME-THE BEST IS YET TO BE is a celebration of aging as only Sandra Martz (editor of the million-copy bestseller WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE) can bring us. This honest, vibrant, and heartwarming collection of writings from both women and men explores the journey through midlife and into old age. "The voices of older Americans come through loud, clear, and artistic." (Mother Jones)

From grandmothers coaxing their muscles in dance class to fathers challenging sons in the games of baseball and of life, from a love-struck widow seeking predictions from a mysterious fortune teller to a woman tenderly reassuring her husband that she has "no hunger for young flesh," the voices in this unique volume reach beyond the page to touch our hearts, enrich our souls, and transform our perception of aging.

Whether newlyweds or celebrating milestone anniversaries, this charming collection, "written from experience and from the heart" (Publishers Weekly), will be a cherished gift. The audiocassette edition was a 1996 Grammy finalist.

About the Author:

Martz is founding editor and publisher of Papier-Mache Press. She holds a MBA from California StateUniversity.
