Passages Gail Sheehy

Gail Sheehy's classic bestseller, Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life, is available with a new introduction.

For decades, Gail Sheehy's landmark bestseller Passages has been inspiring readers to see the predictable crises of adult life as opportunities for growth. She charts the stages between 18 and 50 as unfolding in a pattern of adult development: once recognized, more easily managed. Passages is an insightful road map of adulthood that illustrates with vivid stories our continuing personality and sexual changes throughout the "Trying 20s," "Catch 30s," "Forlorn 40s," and "Refreshed (or Resigned) 50s." One comment is continuously repeated by men, women, singles, couples, and people who recover from a midlife crisis: "This book changed my life."
