Terrific, fortuitous, magical friendship that arose between Joan Erikson (90+) and Joan Anderson (51) - highly readable and engaging. Life stages are personal as well as the universal in this book.

This is a genuine good story of a real life friendship
Between 2 women that encourages one to think about life as an adventure to explore and enjoy each day and accept whatever happens to part of the "shaping" of your character

Recommended. Somewhat romanticized story of the writer's real-life friendship with a remarkable elderly woman writer and thinker. The older Joan participated in her's famous husband's ground-breaking work in psychology. Thoughtful and thought-provoking. Short and light.

A truly enjoyable book..It is about the wisdom from Joan Erickson, that the author seems to take up like a sponge. Anderson's other books are a disappointment, because there are no new insights, just her struggle to find herself and deal with a marriage she obviously does not want to be in.
