Marcia Wallace

Don’t Look Back We’re Not Going That Way!

This is a book for anyone who has felt unloved and unattractive, been broke, experienced failure, been fat and thin and fat again, had a fire, had cancer and/or a nervous breakdown, and been widowed. This is also a book for anyone who has found love in midlife, experienced success, adopted a child, had a spiritual awakening, flourished from the love of family and friends and started all over again after losing a spouse ... or would like to. And would like to hear about it from a woman who can still “count her lucky chickens”, a woman who makes you laugh out loud and a woman you feel like you've known your entire life.
