These hand-tinted photographs of old buildings
and the accompanying poems celebrate the mysterious transformations
of aging. Images of lived-in, graceful structures travel with poems
that voice the surprising changes and unimagined gains possible
during the transition into middle age. We offer our collection to
all women undergoing this vulnerable yet exciting passage.
We are also looking for a publisher, and invite
you to contact us should you be or can suggest one. We think The
Beauty of Aging would not only be a great gift book, but
could also expand to other attractive formats including a calendar,
journal, or note cards. Our book is targeted to appeal to the 40
million American women moving through menopause, and we believe
that many of them would enjoy giving our inspirational book to a
friend or purchasing it for themselves.
If you can make this part of our dream a reality,
we would appreciate hearing from you!
