Customer Reviews

A true look at a little-recognized issue

Robert Wolley does an excellent job at taking us through the process of how to initiate, continue, and even deal with losing, love in our old age. This book is invaluable to people involved in working with a geriatric population, as well as to seniors who are looking to make a new start in the world. Like all his other books, Mr. Wolley gives us the feeling of first-hand knowledge being contributed to this book, making it more real and more applicable to our lives.

Good Advice and a Good Read -- What a Combination

After reading various romance and self-help books (one written by my father), this one has to be one of my favorites. The book meets the difficult challenge of being full of practical, helpful guidance without being dull. The author does this mainly through the use of various antecdotes. Whether it is the story of the psychologist seeking someone to listen to his problems, or the real estate agent saying it isn't "location, location, location," it is "I love you, I love you, I love you," these brief stories are the most endearing and captivating part of the book. The also become an indirect method by which the author passes wisdom on to the reader. I strongly recommend this book to any senior looking for romantic encouragement or guidance. This book will help you love again and will serve as a friend in your corner giving you support. A great read for any senior looking for love or a great gift for any senior you already love.

Not Your Neighbor's Pop Psych Book!

A great book for seniors thinking about romance. Here's what the author says: Two things this book is not. First, this is not a sex guide, a "how-to-do-it" manual for the elderly. In every bookstore there are shelves full ofguides for those who need help (or a refresher course for those unsure of themselves) if "doin' what comes nacherly" doesn't happen. The fact of sexual activity is recognized in this book, but mostly that recognition deals with mutually achieved attitudes about sexual events; sexual techniques are absent. Second, this book is not a guide for dealing with the loss of a loved partner either by death or separation (that is, divorce). We ... are widowed or separated. In no way are the two the same; only the situation in which we find ourselves is common: we are without love and loving partners. And we think we have found or might find someone who might become that loved and loving parter. I lent a copy to a friend, who said it gave her confidence that it was normal to want romance again. In large-enough-to-read type.

Loving again

A beautifully written book recommended for anyone who might be considering an intimate senior relationship.--Valuable, comforting advice for seniors thinking of taking the chance to seek a loving partner.

Another chance for romance

A pleasant and supportive read broken down into simple steps. It's a solid place to start for anyone thinking about taking the big step, but it offers practical advice for lovers needing a push in the right direction. It's certainly worth a read.
