Old and on Their Own (Paperback, New edition)

The photographic essay by Alex Harris and Thomas Roma provides an important visual dimension to this book. Harris photographed in Durham, North Carolina, and Roma in his native Brooklyn. Whether rural or urban, black or white, rich or poor, these elderly people emerge as strong and inspiring individuals who deserve our respect and admiration, and who show us how to live our later years to the fullest.

• "I have more ideas and plans now than I've ever had — last things to do before I take my last breath! The trouble is doing them all, even getting near to doing them all: that's the big challenge." — from Old and on Their Own
