Terrific, fortuitous, magical friendship that arose between Joan Erikson (90+) and Joan Anderson (51) - highly readable and engaging. Life stages are personal as well as the universal in this book.

Recommended. Somewhat romanticized story of the writer's real-life friendship with a remarkable elderly woman writer and thinker. The older Joan participated in her's famous husband's ground-breaking work in psychology. Thoughtful and thought-provoking. Short and light.

This is a genuine good story of a real life friendship
Between 2 women that encourages one to think about life as an adventure to explore and enjoy each day and accept whatever happens to part of the "shaping" of your character

A truly enjoyable book..It is about the wisdom from Joan Erickson, that the author seems to take up like a sponge. Anderson's other books are a disappointment, because there are no new insights, just her struggle to find herself and deal with a marriage she obviously does not want to be in.
