This book takes up the passage into adulthood and asks how a person can keep a sense of youthfulness while also valuing the wisdom and self-assurance that come with years. Its approach is reflective rather than prescriptive, encouraging readers to see growing older as a process of becoming more fully themselves. Illustrated with twenty-five duotone images, the book pairs its gentle observations with visual pieces meant to be savored slowly.
