SEX AND THE SEASONED WOMAN Pursuing the Passionate Life

This is a well-researched lesson on how women over 45 can live fully in every area of life--especially sexually. In the second half of her life, a woman usually switches from pleasing others to expressing her deepest desires and talents. With the life span approach that she used so effectively in PASSAGES, Sheehy's stories have a familiarity that speaks to the heart without being sentimental or purely inspirational. She creates an openness and excitement about the possibility of finding sexual and emotional fulfillment. By discovering her unique gifts and capabilities, a woman can find many avenues for expressing herself in relationships, in work, in life. Sheehy's thinking and writing about these matters are unparalleled and her narrating fluid and genuine. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 06]
