The Time of Your Life

Eugenie G. Wheeler Β· 2005
61/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

Wheeler's warmth and genuine experience supporting older adults come through, and the humor keeps difficult subjects from feeling heavy. The column-format origins show in an episodic structure that does not build toward anything cumulative, and the small-press distribution means it never received the scrutiny that might have sharpened it. A kind, encouraging read for the right audience, but not essential.
