That That Was, Is Beverly Cohen Lerner

"I'm writing this book in the eighth decade of my life, while I can still think clearly, and before I forget all of the details."That That Was, Is is a decade-by-decade collection of memories, stories, and poems of a life well lived. Now in her eighth decade of her life, Beverly Lerner reflects on the highlights of each decade beginning with Decade 1: The Nurturing Years of childhood and concluding with Decade 8: Winding Down. Along the way she recalls the lessons of growing up, the challenges of parenthood, the stresses of a career, adjustments to life in retirement, and the grief caused by illness and death of loved ones. That That Was, Is has meaning for anyone who had a childhood, been a parent, dealt with illness and death, and is entering their senior years. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll remember.
