Girls with Grandmother Faces: A Celebration of Life's Potential for Those Over 55

Frances Weaver finds life astonishing. A widow with four children and eight grandchildren, she discovered the joys of writing in her fifties with the original "The Girls with the Grandmother Faces" in a self-published edition. Listeners across the country can now hear the power of Weaver's signature warmth and wisdom on what life can offer in its second half.
Weaver urges those over 55 to regard their lives with newly opened eyes. This is a world in which older people have better health, housing, educational opportunities and discretionary buying power than at any other time in history. But, she cautions: "Being old nowadays is not for sissies." It's for those self-starters who can learn to fly kites, go back to school, and re-evaluate who they are and where they want to go after the death of a spouse, or the emptying of a noisy, child-dominated household.
With wit and common sense, Frances Weaver tackles moving, making new friends in your sixties, travel, support groups, and even sex in this life-saving work Weaver regards not as a "how-to, " but a "why-not!"
