About the Author Lori West Peterson is associate professor of communication at St.
Auto-ethnographically crafted, the narratives presented throughout the book aim to show how managing and living through change at midlife is very much a communicative endeavor.
The empty nest, the surprise discovery of cancer, re-defining one\'s life at midlife and re-imagining long term commitment after divorce are just some of the topics explored in this book.
In this book, contributors spin compelling and meaningful narratives about change at midlife.
More important, readers are invited to see the power of narrative re-framing as authors seek to understand, interpret and "live" midlife change(s) in ways that are empowering and life affirming.
Although readers are free to construct their own meaning after reading each narrative, they are encouraged to attend to the ways in which each narrative reveals how the author grapples with their particular issues communicatively.
