Title of the book came from a discussion between the author and her granddaughter. The author told her that "the girls" were coming over to play bridge. The granddaughter asked, "What girls?" When her grandmother explained, she said, "Oh, I know the girls with the grandmother faces!"

A book outlining the potential that all women have, at any age, even the ones with the "grandmother faces"! A good read and a good primer on friendship and expectations of aging. (Keep one - throw the other out the window!)

This is a book aimed at women over 55, and especially those who are widowed. I read it anyway (didn't know the last part). I enjoyed it, and there are a lot of points that can be easily taken by just about anyone, especially women, throughout it. Go out. Do something. Don't sit at home. Find your own life and don't expect family to fulfill everything.

She's right, it's easier when you have no kids, and especially if you are on your own, but it's still a message worth hearing at any time.
