These stories and photographs of amazing supercentenarians, ordinary people who have lived extraordinary lives spanning three centuries,are inspirational and captivating. The interviews illuminate the life experiences of these hardy individuals; their portraits show visually a glimpse into their souls; the essays have lessons for all of us. This is an amazing book with a message for everyone on how to live life to the fullest. Bravo!!
