Coming Home to Yourself Eighte

"Coming Home to Yourself: Eighteen Wise Women Reflect on Their Journeys" by Patricia Gottlieb Shapiro honors the changing face of aging and shatters stereotypes about older women. The diverse, multi-cultural group of women featured in this book are vital, resilient, and continue to grow. They have all experienced a turning point later in life, which has brought them home to their deepest selves. No matter what their culture, religion, lifestyle, economics or personal challenges, all the women arrived at the same internal destination: a place within themselves of comfort and familiarity, of harmony and wholeness, and of acceptance and love for themselves. Their moving stories of self-discovery and empowerment will inspire women of any age to continue their quest to find their own authentic home.
