This book sounds great, but I am interested to know how many women who recommend it are in my age group of 60's?

Jody I'm 48, and it was an interesting read. Inspirational? No. This book is geared more to the 20-30 year old with young kids. But it did feel like a chat…moreI'm 48, and it was an interesting read. Inspirational? No. This book is geared more to the 20-30 year old with young kids. But it did feel like a chat with a girlfriend. She details some difficulties with her childhood, with her brother's suicide, with getting out of her own head, and her exhausting and depressing experiences with foster parenting to adoption. With these issues in her history, she does maintain a positive outlook on life. If you get nothing out of it, get the message that we all have bad times and we choose not to be a victim. She has interesting experiences, not new and different than others, but provides a good outlook on moving forward. Her love story was a bit childish and immature, but who doesn't have some of those stories? It's more of a conversation with a friend, not a self help or motivational book. Probably would be better received for an audio book than a reading piece. (less)
