9798218283711: The Best is Yet to Be

Synopsis

In this, her third collection of personal essays, Mary Gentry explores, with humor and poignancy, the journey of growing saying goodbye to the things we take for granted and that we believe define us; saying hello to humility; and discovering triumph in the midst of disappointment. The Best Is Yet to Be is an affirmation of treasuring what’s past, reveling in the delights of this moment, and anticipating the future. With these essays—part memoir, part commentary on daily life—Mary courageously, vulnerably, and compassionately carries readers with her through the various joys, struggles, sorrows, surprises, and ambitions of her eighth decade. These are stories of friends and family and food, of dogs and dresses, of falls, recoveries, and, yes, of acceptance and accommodation—but also, ever and always, of steadfast commitment to deepest values.
