Industry Reviews
"ANOTHER COUNTRY is a compassionate look at the disconnect between baby boomers and their aging parents or grandparents...a passionate plea to reconnect the 'old old'--those in their mid-70s and older--with the rest of society."
Winecoff
"Mary Pipher views aging through the lens of the anthropologist. She observes that to grow old for many people in today's fragmented, age-phobic, age-segregated America is to inhabit a foreign country, isolated and misunderstood."
Winecoff
"Don't put the elderly on social ice floes is the plea here, accompanied by compassionate, if not always solidly grounded, insights into growing old that will benefit the elderly and their children alike."
