A helpful and fascinating collection of stories

The diverse experiences of the fifteen men who share their stories in this book provide an intriguing and helpful look at what it means to be gay and in midlife. There are only a few books on this subject (Kooden's Golden Men and Isensee's Are You Ready), each of which provides its own unique contribution to this area. I would highly recommend this book as well as the other two.
