This title has been on my TBR for a while. I enjoyed Lisa Congdon‘s richly colorful illustrations as much as the inspiring stories of older women taking on new hobbies, sports, careers, and other challenges at age 40, 60, 80, and beyond! I‘m often worried that I‘m such a late bloomer I‘ll never bloom; yet after reading this, what excuses do I have?🔸#junereads2021

Lisa Congdon offers portraits and interviews with women who embody the phrase, "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loving this ARC about women who discovered what they were passionate about late in life.

DarcysMom I just requested it on Netgalley. I hope I am approved. 🤞 7y
