about this book: Just pretend: You're in your early sixties, and your well-planned life is falling apart. What do you do if you were --

BARBARA ... and your philandering husband's latest slut wears $400 an ounce Coco Chanel -- unlike the previous Walgreen spritzers? For the first time Barbara is afraid of losing everything she spent a lifetime building.

IRENE ... widowed, incurably romantic, desperate to retire, and a nice -- but clueless --guy named Mel moves in? He leaves the toilet seat up, describes his bodily functions at breakfast, and snores so loudly you can't sleep. "He's not who he used to be," she whines at mahjongg. "Neither are you," she is warned.

SYLVIA ...and you are convinced you will choke to death if you live alone? Your thirty-five-year old daughter has agreed to live with you until she marries. Fortunately, all her potential husbands disappear soon after you invite them home for a friendly dinner ... until --

ROCHELLE, recently divorced, and your two self-absorbed daughters have turned you and your home into a virtual day care for their children? If counseling, EST, TM, and a Gypsy savant haven't helped her to take back her life, will anything?

Coming of age CAN happen more than once!
