Product Description
Pultizer Prize-winning author Robert Coles explores the lives of 11 men and women over the age of 75 and living on their own. The book emphasizes the resilience of those who are struggling to remain independent despite the consequences of old age. These people share their thoughts, memories, aspirations and worries. The photographs provide a visual dimension to the book, whether rural or urban, black or white, rich or poor, these elderly people emerge as strong individuals who show how to live our later years to the fullest.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   December 20, 2001

Yes, the author does let us see into himself, but does not deign to interpret the men and women who inhabit these pages. Old, old age is a stage of life who's voice we all need to heed. Hints at the kind of life lived being rather than doing can lead us all to a kind of spirit long held other and thus leaving us deprived of the balance of long life's wisdom. pThis book is a gift.
