What to expect
Here, one of Ireland's most beloved voices invites us to rethink what it is to age - personally, socially and spiritually. With warmth, openness and insight, Mary shares her own experience of growing older, alongside the reflections of wise and remarkable elders who have lived, strived and thrived through life's seasons.
While Mary doesn't shy away from the realities of ageing - loneliness, forgetfulness, slowing down - she also celebrates the gifts of later life: greater freedom, self-understanding, and the quiet joy of prioritising your own needs. She shows how age can be a time of healing, of returning to the past not to dwell on it but to liberate ourselves in the present.
A beautiful celebration of the richness of age, and a reminder that the later chapters may be the most powerful of all.
