Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
In her sequel to It's Better to Be over the Hill Than under It, LeShan has collected 77 essays drawn primarily from her weekly Newsday column. The number is significant because LeShan writes about everyday things that "have to do with my being in my seventh decade." She tells of the pleasures of grandparenthood, her friendships, and her new career as a playwright. The title of the collection refers to the fact that at age 72, LeShan is not ready to retire, and through these essays, she shares her conviction that one must wake "up every morning with the firm intent of using every bit of talent and skill and understanding to find new meanings, new strengths." LeShan's essays are a major dose of pep pills for readers of any age. Denise Perry Donavin
Review
Hooray for Eda LeShan's 'divine discontent,' which prompts her to greet each day with her loving heart and eager mind wide-open to life. -- Judith Viorst
