Finally, a collection that celebrates, considers, contemplates, even criticizes'midlife' from a black woman's point of view. Age Ain't Nothing but a Number ranges over every aspect of black women's lives: personal growth, family and friendship, love and sexuality, health, beauty, illness, spirituality, creativity, financial independence, work, and scores of other topics.

Midlife today isn't your grandmother's'change of life.' Today, black women call hot flashes 'power surges, ' and menopause, the 'pause that refreshes.' These days, middle-aged women may be newlyweds or new mothers, as well as grandmothers or widows. They may experience the empty-nest syndrome and then the 'return-to-the-nest syndrome' as adult children move back home. They may navigate the field of Internet dating, travel the world, teach homeless women, take up pottery, or study international business.

This anthology captures all of these aspects of midlife as experienced by some of the finest voices in African-American writing today. Featuring the work of Maya Angelou, J. California Cooper, Pearl Cleage, Nikki Giovanni, Susan L. Taylor, Alice Walker, and dozens of others, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number will make readers think, laugh, and cry and will be the perfect gift book for spring.

Beautiful bag BUT no hangtag💔
Size: One Size, Color: Merlot, Size: One Size, Color: Merlot
I was delighted with this bag! It’s my first time ordering Coach from Amazon. I saw it on sale and didn’t think twice. It came very well packaged, just like new. I attached the strap to wear it like shoulder strap and added a charm. 🍒✨ The problem?? It came without the Coach hangtag!! I was totally disappointed. I contacted Amazon of course, and they asked me to return the bag with no option to repurchase it at the same price I got it for. I highly doubt it will go on sale again, so I decided to keep it and managed to find the hangtag on Poshmark.

Coach Quality Never Fails
Size: One Size, Color: Black 1, Size: One Size, Color: Black 1
I'm not sure why there are any reviews complaining of silver hardware or size as that information is clearly listed in the product descriptions. One also needs to order directly from Coach and select the gift option to get the gift box and dust bag, which has always been the case. This Tabby is the perfect size to hold the contents of your wallet, your phone, and your keys. It's a clutch bag. The bag I received has silver hardware and full grain leather as advertised. It's a beautiful, quality bag and the difference between this and a fake is clear; the material feels durable and soft at the same time. The bag smells like leather. Ultimately, as I read and did my research, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I've dressed it up with a cheaper, smaller strap as I'm using this as an oversized wristlet at the moment; but I got everything I paid for.
