First, famed author Gail Sheehy explores the reawakened passions of boomer women. Then, Eric Kingson shares the lifetime of knowledge he gained from his wife in his new book, Lessons from Joan. Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-1 It's been more than 3 decades since Gail Sheehy focused our collective attention on American women's shared journeys with her seminal work "Passages"--named recently one of the most influential works of the 20th Century. Her newest work examines the rite of passage that is middle age--and how American Women in the 21st Century are rediscovering themselves, socially and sexually. Sheehy joins host Mike Cuthbert to discuss her latest findings and her book: "Sex and the Seasoned Woman". Then, one man's touching story of his wife's years long battle with illness, and the lessons she taught him. Thought-provoking conversations, on this Prime Time Radio.
