KISS TOMORROW HELLO brings together the experiences and reflections of women as they embark on a new stage of life. Many women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s discover that they are racing uphill, trying desperately to keep their romantic and social lives afloat just as those things they believe are constant start to shift, and the body begins its inevitable decline, sometimes gracefully, sometimes less so.

The 25 stellar writers gathered here explore a wide range of concerns, including empty-nest syndrome, caring for elderly parents, keeping love (and sex) alive, and contemplating plastic surgery. The tales are true, the confessions candid, and the humor infectious. From Lynn Freed's wry 'Happy Birthday to Me' to Pam Houston's hilarious 'Coffee Dates with a Beefcake,' KISS TOMORROW HELLO is a wise, lyrical, and sexy look at the pleasures and perils of midlife.
