Book Review:
This book came to me at the perfect time. As a writer of a certain age, I felt like this book spoke to me where I am right now: an empty nester with a desire to write and a need to do creative things, but often feeling stuck in the middle of everything. Sharon's words are kind and thoughtful, borne of years of experience, and most importantly, they do not talk down to those of us who are entering a new phase of life reluctantly or with strong feelings. She is with us as our guide, offering ideas, prompts for writing and art, and practical suggestions for moving forward with confidence and vigor, rather than anger and cynicism. I highly recommend this book as a guide, an anchor, a way forward, and a workbook to savor and work through.
