At last, this is your story. You'll recognize yourself, your
friends, and your loves. You'll see how to use each life
crisis as an opportunity for creative change -- to grow to
your full potential. Gail Sheehy's brilliant road map of
adult life shows the inevitable personality and sexual
changes we go through in our 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond. The
Trying 20s -- The safety of home left behind, we begin
trying on life's uniforms and possible partners in search of
the perfect fit. The Catch 30s -- illusions shaken, it's
time to make, break, or deepen life commitments. The Forlorn
40s -- Dangerous years when the dreams of youth demand
reassessment, men and women switch characteristics, sexual
panic is common, but the greatest opportunity for
self-discovery awaits. The Refreshed (or Resigned) 50s --
Best of life for those who let go old roles and find a
renewal of purpose.
