Subjects: Écrivains américains, American Authors, Littérature américaine, Older people's writings, American, American literature

Description: "Spanning several continents and generations, these writers speak in original voices of the joys, sorrows and frustrations of life. Ride on a river boat down the Mississippi, see World War II through the eyes of a child, hear the tales of faith and character told by a grandmother in India, and a story of redemption in a village in Scotland. Here are poems, stories, essays, fiction covering politics, death, coming of age, family, friends and, yes, even thoughts about growing older. Forget any stereotypes about aging. Enjoy the diversity and the spirit of life lived fully and the richness of human experience."--Page 4 of cover.
