Science, medicine, and attention to healthy living styles has created an ever-enlarging geriatric population. To arrive at this stage of development in reasonably good health is a blessing. Even so, one cannot escape the arrival of gremlins that enter the body uninvited and proceed to make renovations without permission. For example, they step in, mess around with hormones and cause hair follicles to pop out of a woman's face and chin. Men may begin to bald while their ears sprout matted hair causing diminished hearing. 80? Oh No! presents an intriguing story about the aging experience with a powerful, authorial, bold, and endlessly entertaining voice. Whether discussing sexuality or mortality, this work is uniquely insightful and poignant. The writing style is unusual and dynamic. The author hopes the reader will take a walk in her shoes and share her thoughts and feelings throughout the reading of each chapter. This book is perfect for gift-giving and provocative reading for book club members.
