Age Ain't Nothing but a Number: Black Women Explore Midlife

It is a collection that celebrates, considers, contemplates, and even criticizes'midlife' from the perspective of a black woman. Personal growth, family and friendship, love and sexuality, health, beauty, illness, spirituality, creativity, financial independence, work, and a variety of other topics are covered in Age Ain't Nothing But a Number.

Midlife today isn't your grandmother's "change of life". Today, black women refer to hot flashes as "power surges", and menopause as the "refreshing pause". Middle-aged women today may be newlyweds or new mothers, grandmothers or widows. As adult children return home, they may experience the empty-nest syndrome, followed by the'return-to-the-nest syndrome.' They could try their hand at Internet dating, travel the world, teach homeless women, learn to make pottery, or study international business.

This anthology captures all of these aspects of midlife as experienced by some of today's best African-American writers. Age Ain't Nothing But a Number will make readers think, laugh, and cry, and is the ideal spring gift book.
