What would motivate an almost 80-year-old woman (hitting the milestone Christmas Eve 2024) to write a book about the Best Sex Ever After Menopause?

“Julie Fingersh’s Stay is so rich, wise, funny, and beautifully written. It’s hard to put down once you start."—Anne Lamott, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Called “Profound, funny, and masterfully told by” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Gretchen Rubin, Stay: A Story of Family, Love, and Other Traumas is a riveting debut that captures the joyous and painful complexity of family love and loyalty, the cost of family secrets, and the quest to help the people we love most without losing our own way. It’s also a rare window into two of the biggest epidemics gripping society today: mental illness and chronic illness and the ways in which they affect relationships, personal identity, and the blueprint of our lives.
