A Book Filled With Humor & Nostalgia
For anyone in their 70s — or anyone who loves someone who is.
Bring It On… We're In Our 70's began as a series of long, honest conversations with friends who'd quietly arrived at the same surprising place: their seventies. What they had to say was too good to keep to themselves.
The book gathers their memories alongside Bea's own — on aging and technology, relationships and widowhood, family and identity, and the small absurd indignities of modern life. It is funny, it is warm, and it never pretends to have all the answers.
