At age thirty-two, I had overcome cancer and the amputation of my left leg. I had paid my dues and figured it would take a lot more than turning seventy to bring me down. Or would it? I began to wonder about other women of a certain age and what paths they've taken and how they are managing their own changing tides. So, I invited ordinary women with extraordinary stories to get real about aging. With wit, humor and staunch frankness, these women explain, discuss, call out and examine how they continue to negotiate the dynamic currents of aging. In my own response to aging, I've written personal stories and anecdotes around my own discoveries. Some are serious, inspirational, illuminating. Others are outrageous, foolish, awkward and funny. Our stories, together, powerfully impart what it means to possess a certain wisdom, a certain comfort, a certain sensuality, a certain persona . . . not despite but precisely because of the experience of growing older.
The Next Leg of My Journey will touch your soul. It is the story of a woman who had everything—suddenly fighting to keep from losing it all. Award winning author, Lenor Madruga Chappell, continues to move readers with her latest book, The Next Leg of My Journey. Her first book was One Step At A Time, a poignant autobiography of her struggle to walk again after losing her leg to cancer, In The Next Leg of My Journey, a sequel, Lenor engages the reader with the intimate and heart wrenching details of the painful demise of her marriage, admitting that "losing her husband was worse than losing her leg." Committed to enjoying life, no matter what it brings, this remarkable story of learning to love again is uplifting and achingly honest. If the first story is a victorious struggle to overcome cancer, then the second book focuses on the obstacles this unique woman faced trying to overcome the challenges of life alone. Forty years old, single and an amputee, fighting to rebuild her life and to secure her daughters' futures as well as her own, The Next Leg of My Journey is a story of unbelievable willpower and human triumph.
