REVIEW
"In this candid and poignant journey Vilma explores the dilemmas, anxieties, surprises and joys of getting older, tells it like it is, with wit and wonder.
Like a trusted friend who tells the truth, whether funny or painful to hear, Vilma’s poems leave readers intimately connected ... and more accepting of themselves.
This volume of poetry is a rare page turner and a wonderful gift to anyone navigating the frontier of growing old."
