Editorial Review:
Invisible No More: The Secret Lives of Women Over 50 shares the illuminating personal experiences of three women who have faced the challenges of aging. Authors Renee, Joyce, and Jean tell their three very individual stories of a journey to age fifty and beyond with grace, humor, and humility, sparing no details in revealing their ordinary yet outrageous lives. Believing that fifty is not merely an age marked by time or another milestone to cross, Renee, Joyce, and Jean will inspire you to reevaluate the direction your own life is taking, teach you to be open to taking risks, and gently encourage you to seek the infinite possibilities that lie ahead of you. The three authors speak candidly about many topics, including: · Sexuality and the Big Five-Oh
· Dating and Mating
· Physical Surprises
· Weighing In
· Solitude vs. Loneliness
· Faith and Spirituality
· Leaving Normalcy Behind
· Shifting Gears As you too pass the threshold of fifty, you may discover, as these three women did, that it is a moment in your life to celebratea beginning, rather than an ending. "For these three brave women, life began at 50 years of age when they made a decision to be honest about themselves. Thankfully, they have shared their stories with us." Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - "Invisible No More" could have stayed invisible...
I heard one of the authors interviewed on a Sunday evening radio program. It was a good and interesting interview. I found the book to be neither. I'm a 59 yo man who bought it for a woman friend. The interesting topics in the interview (how women are perceived by others at certain ages, effects of changing/not changing hair color, etc.) were not featured in the book, which struck me as 3 not-very-interesting-but-overly-self-absorbed people with not much to say of interest. It had some thoughtful ... Read More
Rating: - Redefining Live After 50
This is simply a phenomenal book! These three women have come out in public and revealed their souls to those of us who are walking the same path after 50. What struck me the most was the depth of honesty and vulnerability that Joyce, Renee and Jean revealed to us. Along with this was the encouragement to recreate yourself, and take, what I call, that quantum leap in life in complete trust and faith as the dependency on "security" fades into the background. The message I got loud and clear throughout ... Read More
Rating: - Three New Friends
A very enjoyable read. These three women (I kept looking at their pictures on the back cover when reading their vignettes) are open and unabashingly honest as they comment on various subjects that especially effect us "over 50 women". Their stories come from their life experiences and various friendships, and we are brought into their inner circle. They are who they are today because of their strenghts and weaknesses, their personal histories and hopes for today and the future, as we all are, too. Their ... Read More
Rating: - A memoir of three different women who each tell the story of their life journey to their golden years
Invisible No More: The Secret Lives of Women Over 50 is a memoir of three different women who each tell the story of their life journey to their golden years. Written with wit, aplomb, modesty, and enthusiasm, Invisible No More covers topics ranging from sexuality at five decades to faith and spirituality, maintaining physical health (and a trim waistline), shifting gears, and contemplations on the difference between solitude and loneliness. Invisible No More earns its distinction of being an iUniverse reader's ... Read More
Rating: - This is a genuine, honest, HOPEFUL, joyous book! A true treasure!
These writers tell their stories so genuinely, so generously, so thought-provokingly, that you cannot stop reading this book. At one and the same time original, yet telling so many parts of other women's stories around the globe, whether you are under 50 or over, these passages will resonate within you. You will never fear turning 50 again!
Three distinct voices, three unusual lives, all bound together with hope, friendship, love, humor, and above all, honesty. I am nearing this passage myself, and ... Read More
