As an older first-time mother of a young daughter, Nancy
London combed the bookshelves in search of support and
guidance for some of the emotional and physical challenges
she faced. To her dismay, she found that most parenting
books were written for much younger women, while books on
midlife assumed the female reader had grown children. The
next day, Nancy ran an ad in the local newspaper to start a
support group for first-time moms over forty, and her phone
hasn't stopped ringing since. Hot Flashes, Warm Bottles is
the first prescriptive and anecdotal guidebook for the
multitudes of older moms, and distills the wisdom, insight,
and practical advice gathered during her years as a
therapist and support group leader. With tips for renewing
physical and sexual energy, parenting after infertility and
adoption, balancing career and family, and caring for
elderly parents, the personal stories from these older moms
are often humorous, sometimes surprising, but always
reassuring. Without exception, the reader will be left with
the comforting knowledge that she is not alone on her
journey. Hot Flashes fills a much-needed place in the
parenting field, at a time when more and more women are
embracing motherhood later in life.
