Berkeley, CA: Counterpoint. Fine. 2009. Trade Paperback. 288 pages. When Laura Flynn was a little girl, her beautiful, dynamic mother, Sally, was the center of her imagination.

"Much of the time our society stereotypes and dismisses old women as ridiculous, troublesome, irrelevant, and (worst of all) boring. These memoirs contradict the assumptions.
