[From the back cover] At last, this is your story. Gail Sheehy's brilliant road map of adult life shows the inevitable personality and sexual changes we go through in our 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. Brilliant new insights on the predictable crises of adult life.

This is the first and only book, as far as I know, that helps us through the "Trying 20's" the "Catch 30's" and "MIDLIFE CRISIS of the 40's." A very informative and easy to read book.
