Am I Old Yet?: The Story of Two Women, Generations Apart, Growing Up and Growing Young in a Timeless Friendship

At forty-four, Leah Komaiko was not aging graciously. Her generation expected to stay forever young, but she felt old and empty inside. Nothing she thought of trying (plastic surgery, a vacation, a new husband) could make her feel young again. Then she met Adele — a woman who never expected to be ninety-four — alone, forgotten, and living in a nursing home. This inspiring memoir takes us into a world most hope never to enter and few dare to go — the nursing home — as Adele helps Leah to see the truth about growing old.
