**AS SEEN IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, BITCH MAGAZINE, THE LA REVIEW OF
BOOKS, LIT HUB, AND MORE** In this groundbreaking collection of
essays, poems, and creative nonfiction, more than twenty-nine
writers offer witty and incisive insight into the unique experience
of being or having an older parent in today's world. By turns raw,
funny, tender, and wise, these stories reshape our understanding of
the social factors that impact later parenthood, honor the strength
and resilience required to overcome countless challenges posed in
healthcare and adoption settings, and relish in the many joys of a
parent-child relationship, no matter what age. Writers, child
development experts, and older parents themselves Vicki Breitbart
and Nan Bauer-Maglin have curated a collection that truly affirms
and destigmatizes the act of becoming a parent over 40, whether by
choice or by chance. Contributors include New York Times
bestselling author and National Book Award winner Elizabeth
Acevedo; award-winning author Adam Berlin; writer and editor Laura
Broadwell; author and editor Salma Abdelnour Gilman; professor and
institute director Elizabeth Gregory; podcast producer and host
Barbara Herel; author and research scholar Elline Lipkin; retired
journalist Linda Wright Moore; founder and executive director of
The Democracy Center Jim Shultz; and more. Tick Tock is a document,
a community, a manual, a help line, a chorus of voices expressing
the gamut of complicated emotions that accompany a person of a
certain age contemplating the leap into parenthood. I wish this
important book existed when I was at that crossroads, and am
grateful for it today. -Michelle Tea, Against Memoir Tick Tock
reads like a wide-ranging chat with friends who ask 'What's your
story?' These are human, lived tales that describe life-changing
and interconnected issues-political, social, and personal. What a
gift. -Judy Norsigian and Jane Pincus, Our Bodies, Ourselves Tick
Tock is an exquisite, understanding, and inclusive examination of
the unique challenges and joys faced by older parents. An
unforgettable book-undeniably important and a pleasure to read.
-Beverly Gologorsky, Can You See the Wind?
