Edie Featured in a Moving Book on Life

“Edie Elkan is a believer in dreams; lost dreams, found dreams, and impossible dreams”—so begins the first chapter of a just-published book, Coming Home to Yourself: Eighteen Wise Women Reflect on their Journeys, by Patricia Gottlieb Shapiro, MSW.  “The book honors the changing face of aging and shatters stereotypes about older women.  The diverse, multi-cultural group of women featured in this book are vital, resilient, and continue to grow,” reads the jacket.

Also on the jacket is this quote by Tanya Taylor Rubinstein, Artistic Director of Project Life Stories and Editor of “The Cancer Monologue Project:”“Pat Shapiro is on a journey of the heart.  Through shining a light on women’s stories as they transition from mid-life onward, she offers models of women who have found a way to live in the world with creative authenticity, spiritual insight and graceful discovery…A beautiful book for women of all ages who continue to find their way.”  Published July 29, 2010, the book is now available on Amazon.com.
