Flip-flops After 50;will amuse, enlighten, and provoke readers to think about the topics that affect all of us. Who hasn't dealt with the emotions from family events, stress from lousy jobs, or the bittersweet feelings when the kids leave home? Not to mention body image, high school reunions, and parenting. Eastman's conversational style and easy humor tackle the sublime and the ridiculous, the sacred and the profane. After a certain age--and it's no secret that it's 50--Eastman argues that attitudes change for the better. Making decisions gets easier, although there's no guarantee that life does. Even so, her writing allows us to take a look at our own issues with the reassuring handholding of a confidante.
