<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Forty-five black women writers--known and new--discuss midlife in the first anthology of its kind. "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" celebrates, considers, contemplates, even criticizes "midlife" from a black woman's point of view.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Finally, a collection that celebrates, considers, contemplates, even criticizes'midlife' from a black woman's point of view. <i>Age Ain't Nothing but a Number</i> ranges over every aspect of black women's lives: personal growth, family and friendship, love and sexuality, health, beauty, illness, spirituality, creativity, financial independence, work, and scores of other topics. <p/>Midlife today isn't your grandmother's'change of life.' Today, black women call hot flashes 'power surges, ' and menopause, the 'pause that refreshes.' These days, middle-aged women may be newlyweds or new mothers, as well as grandmothers or widows. They may experience the empty-nest syndrome and then the 'return-to-the-nest syndrome' as adult children move back home. They may navigate the field of Internet dating, travel the world, teach homeless women, take up pottery, or study international business. <p/>This anthology captures all of these aspects of midlife as experienced by some of the finest voices in African-American writing today. Featuring the work of Maya Angelou, J. California Cooper, Pearl Cleage, Nikki Giovanni, Susan L. Taylor, Alice Walker, and dozens of others, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number will make readers think, laugh, and cry and will be the perfect gift book for spring.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Carleen Brice is the author of <i>Walk Tall: Affirmations for People of Color</i>, which was a Blackboard Bestseller, and Lead Me Home: An African American Guide Through the Grief Journey, and was a contributing editor for <i>R.I.P.: The Complete Book of Death and Dying.</i> She has written for various publications, including <i>Mademoiselle, </i> the <i>Chicago Tribune, </i> and BET.com, and lives in Denver, Colorado.
