What does it mean to be an adult? How do we learn to keep growing? Childhood and adolescence have been exhaustively documented, but after adolescence we are left to flounder in uncharted territory. Now Gail Sheehy identifies the predictable crises of adult life: Early Adulthood- leaving home, The Trying Twenties, The Catch-Thirties, The Midlife Crisis of the Forties.
