Book Nook - Where Wisdom Meets Wonder

 

How often do we hear the term “old” used to reference a state of diminishment? Where Wisdom Meets Wonder is a memoir that aims to turn that idea on its head, celebrating the wisdom years through the happy ways in which aging allows us to revisit the wonders of childhood. The child is alive and well inside all of us. While Where Wisdom Meets Wonder speaks to readers who have moved into the Third Act, it also calls out to parents of young children. These stories will give parents a reassuring glimpse of what’s to come. This book is a confident statement about the turf that only a person in the wisdom years can command. It vindicates the dignity that, in our obsession with what dazzles the eye, has been lost in our meager evaluation of aging. With joy and a reaffirmed sense of personal worth, Judith Frizlen seeks to change older people’s perspectives. She hopes these pages will inspire you to take on a beautiful new role as you step into the Third Act of life.
