Looking Back, Moving On (Second Edition): Memoir as Prologue

It takes courage and perseverance to revisit the days abd nights of our lives and write down what we find to make a record of our time on earth. Looking Back, Moving On provides the step-by-step guide to begin the adventure and helps us through the pleasures and pitfalls, the joys and the sorrows that may be encountered. Ms. Rubin enables us to discover that, ultimately, the project, begun as a gift to our children and grandchildren, is the gift of self-discovery we give to ourselves--a gift that enables us to go on to enjoy life to the fullest. The nine chapters are liberally sprinkled with more than sixty excerpts from the writing of forty-two of her hundreds of students.
