Dear Carolyn: I absolutely loved the wisdom and inspiration you shared in this book. You almost perfectly validated all the thoughts and feelings I have had in my sixties and you gave me so much hope for the bright future to come. You beautifully and eloquently explained how to really LIVE life NOW. I checked on you, Carolyn, and learned you committed suicide 7 years after finishing this book. It broke my heart. I have been so perplexed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Biographies of women will offer unmet friends provided the subject of the biography has encountered struggles or dilemmas or crises of choice that the reader can learn from as one would a friend.”

I am in love with this book and the author. I can‘t stop reading and I have some work to do.

Stay tuned if you are interested. I am going to do a comparison with Athill‘s “Somewhere Towards the End”
