ABOUT THE BOOK: Meeting the Muse After Midlife: A Journey to Meaning, Creativity, and Joy

Sally Jean Fox’s memoir about using creative expression as part of a path to hope and meaning in the second half of life offers readers a bold new narrative about aging, presenting the gifts and joys that can occur without sugarcoating possible hardships. Aging, Sally discovered on her journey, opens up great new possibilities for creativity when we let go of old beliefs about what we can and cannot do. Going far beyond concepts of “retirement” and “rewirement,” Sally offers her readers a way to authentically thrive creatively during their last, most precious decades.
