Sensitive Portrayal of a Vibrant "Elderly" Woman

I bought this for myself and my 88 year old mother! This perceptive account of an educated woman's intention to age with independence and dignity are provokingly expressed through her letters. The art of letter writing, once so prominent in our history, rises again in this age of the email and internet. Mrs.(Taylor)Greer has expressed how intimate yet universal lifes' passages are and how important it is that we communicate our feelings. Sharing the trials, traumas and daily challenges of the aging process provides healing for us all.

A moving book, indeed!

I was truly unable to put 'Moving Day' down until I finished reading it. Fortunately, it was a gray, rainy day, so I could snuggle down & enjoy every word. Inspirational certainly fits ... anyone facing the uncertainty of advancing age and the possibility of spending those years alone will delight in Greer's account of Ann Cunningham Bow's joy and enthusiasm as she fashions a life full of music and candles, good food, friends and family, and faith. I have already sent notes to friends recommending they read this book!

A thought provoking commentary on aging gracefully

My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this book! Not only was it entertaining, it was inpiring as well. Although I have always been afraid of growing old, this book gave me the courage to face my fears. It was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I would highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of age.
