"I was getting frustrated searching on the internet for information about a particular type of hip fracture, when I gave up and went to open The Real Truth About Aging and it opened right to the page where there were a series of drawings of the location of different types of hip fractures that can be such an important source of disability for older people. This book is chock full of useful information, like taking a look at nursing homes from all angles: what do the patients think? Or the staff? Are nursing homes REALLY understaffed? Why are older people on too many prescription medications? This book goes beyond the usual fluff of 'aging gracefully' books and provides real information that you can use."

"It is refreshing to find a book that is honest and courageous enough to fly against the "happy-talk" genre of books for the elderly. I've never seen anything to match the straight-talking authenticity that explodes off of every page."
