"Everything you wanted to know about late-life dating and mating...and then some, from wide-ranging personal accounts."
- Susan Gubar (author of Late-Life Love: A Memoir) "These are fresh, new voices that give dignity, pathos, humor, and warmth to the search for love, or finding love, in the third or fourth quartile of life. This is a book that people of a certain age should read--but also people who will, I hope, reach a certain age--because they should know that love and passion can exist way beyond reproductive years."
- Pepper Schwartz (author of 50 Great Myths of Human Sexuality, andon air-relationship expert, Married at First Sight) "Cupid’s got a lousy sense of humor. We just keep longing for romance and companionship-even in our nineties. Love’s a drive--like thirst and hunger. And this book shows the yearning (and resignation) among older folks with touching delicacy and exquisite sophistication. It’s a treasure."
- Dr. Helen Fisher (Chief Science Advisor to Match.com, author of Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray) "An inspiring collection of personal stories from individuals seeking emotional and physical relationships in their later years. Their honest, insightful, and poignant narratives are a worthwhile addition to age studies."
- Ellyn Lem (author of Gray Matters: Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life) "Stories are written from the perspective of 32 women and 13 men [and] contributors range in age from 59 to their 90s. This is not a how-to-date volume but one exploring different viewpoints for consideration...[C]ompanionship never wanes, even with age."
