Crone Age

 

On the brink of her sixtieth birthday and unnerved by the prospect of aging in a society with deep-rooted, negative stereotypes of old women, the author of Crone Age meets eight octogenarians who become her mentors. They speak of the challenges and joys of growing older, of love in the third age, of creativity, health, illness, and coping with loss. Their stories of finding meaning and purpose in their lives reveal the many reasons to celebrate the promises and riches of aging.​

"Crone Age" is an honest, insightful examination of what it means to lead an inspired life as an older woman. It is an invaluable book for women who seek meaning and vitality in their sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond.
