"Breezy and confident." -The Washington Post
“'Postmenopausal zest' is fueling a new revolution in the
generation that redefined womanhood. Blending insight, observation,
and inspiring accounts of women – she calls us each other’s
Horizontal Role Models - Levine crafts a compelling look at
how we’re reinventing relationships, sex, and intimacy in Second
Adulthood. Love on the far side of fifty will never be the same!"
-Mary Eileen Williams, founder FeistySideofFifty.com
"How We Love Now is an immense aha! of understanding: Because we've
been punishing love and sex that aren't linked to having children,
we've also downplayed the pleasures of love and sex after
childbearing years are over. Suzanne Braun Levine breaks this
barrier and reveals new and improved possibilities for freedom,
intimacy, and pleasure throughout the rest of our lives." -Gloria
Steinem
"Whether you're single or married, widowed or divorced, this book
will remind you of how many opportunities for getting--as well as
giving--love already exist in your life, and of the many mroe that
await you in Second Adulthood." -Jane Addams, author of Boundary
Issues
'It's still rare to read anything this thoughtful about our age
group. especiialy about caregiving at our age, And caregetting.
None of us is too good at that yet. How great to have Suzanne Braun
Levine there guiding us as we go along." -Ellen Goodman, Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist
"The metaphor I prefer is Levine's 'fertile void, a space of
unremitting unknowingness. 'Fertile' is good because it emphasizes
the potential for growth, and 'void' feels emptier and more neutral
than 'zone or vacuum.' It is in the fertile void that tendrils of
something new can begin to sprout--if you surrender to it and don't
numb yourself with busyness." -Jane Fonda
