COMING OF AGE… ALL OVER AGAIN: THE ULTIMATE MIDLIFE HANDBOOK
Book ID/图书代码： 04160006B01224
English Summary/英文概要： Two best friends offer “a girlfriend’s guide to midlife” and share personal stories, practical tips, transforming exercises, and valuable resources to help readers make the most of their own lives after 50.
Best friends Kate Klimo and Buffy Shutt are prototypical Baby Boomer women – they’ve both gotten married, had kids, build their careers, and somehow managed to juggle it all. But as Kate and Buffy approach 50, they suddenly found themselves facing a whole new set of challenges for which they were surprisingly ill-prepared. Buffy suddenly lost her high-powered corporate job … and had to forge a new identity (and career) for herself. Kate’s world was turned upside down when her ailing mother came to live with her family.
So these two best friends did what they’d always done … they banded together to figure out this new chapter in their lives. They realized that midlife was another chance to start anew, an opportunity to reinvent themselves, and a time to “come of age” … all over again. They wanted a handbook that would show them how, but when they went to the bookstore they couldn’t find one. This book is that guide. Full of expert advice, resources, exercises, and lots of smart, funny banter, COMING OF AGE… ALL OVER AGAIN is a girlfriend’s guide to midlife … chatty, inside information on everything that boomers face when they hit their 50th birthday.
• Will appeal to the more than 40 million Boomer women, the same group who made books like The Red Hat Society (Warner, 2004) and Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, bestsellers.
• Covers a wealth of topics women in midlife face – from clinging kids to clueless husbands, from the challenges of a career to caretaking for your parents, from toning the body to honing the mind – with humor and grace.
• Promotable, media-savvy authors – Kate Klimo is a book publishing pro, and Buffy Shutt is a marketing dynamo who will lend her considerable promotional talents to getting attention to this book.
• The book is an authoritative resource guide full of recommended reading, expert advice, top-rated web resources, and first-hand information.
