Synopsis

Older Couples: New Romances

Finding and Keeping Love in Later Life by Edith Ankersmit Kemp, L.C.S.W., and Jerrold E. Kemp, Ed.D.

Edith and Jerrold Kemp started dating when she was 66 and he was 75. They courted, they married, and now they’ve collaborated on a new book that challenges stereotypes about aging and intimacy. Focusing on the sexual, financial, legal, and religious issues faced by single, divorced, or widowed seniors, OLDER COUPLES: NEW ROMANCES offers inspirational and practical advice for finding, attracting, and maintaining a loving partnership later in life. Based on a series of interviews with married or committed couples aged 55 or older, OLDER COUPLES is a must read for anyone interested in a realistic and hopeful perspective on the challenges facing older singles and couples.
