Finishing Touches: An insightful look into the mirror of aging

The Story

The process of aging is different today than for previous generations. Never before have people lived longer; never before have the pressures of aging been more numerous or the stresses of continued financial responsibilities been more demanding. The issues facing the elderly in America today are vast, even without the trauma of disenfranchisement from society through economic demise or disease. Finishing Touches addresses such changes as the reflection each aging individual faces each day; the continuing dynamics of sibling, parental, and grand-parental relationships, and the inevitable limitations that aging brings, as opposed to what one's previous aspirations may have been.Finishing Touches is an all-encompassing look at the realities of aging, written by a woman who is in the thick of this challenge herself. It gives an honest perspective on how to deal with the demons and delights of aging, by someone who is there, swimming upstream through her own miraculous journey of life. -- Finishing Touches deals with the impact of aging on human relationships in a candid, and often touching manner. It reflects both the challenges and rewards of growing older, -- Laura Impastato, Senior World Newsmagazine
