Out of Our Past Lives II

About the Book

The essays included in Out of Our Past Lives II share the stories culled from the disparate lives of aging grown-ups. Reflecting a wide range of experiences, this fourth book in the series is a new collection of tales from residents of Saratoga Retirement Community in Saratoga, California. The earlier three books of this series presently reside in the Saratoga Retirement Community library and are the library’s most frequently read books! The writers have recorded memorable aspects of their individual lives and found interest and companionship in the process of writing and sharing their experiences. Out of Our Past Lives II is the association of time, people, and activities, living life forward but trying to understand it and enjoy it backward.
