Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The phenomenon of Midlife Dating has found its voice in Jane Ganahl. Beginning with the launch of her San Francisco Chronicle column, Single Minded, and ending with her fiftieth birthday, Naked on the Page covers one frenzied year in a smart, social, but definitely middle-aged womans life. Its a year of changes, both social and professional, complicated by hormonal upheaval, her fathers declining health, and the realization that after a life filled with too many men to count, she may be single for the rest of it.

Ganahl traces her path of self-discovery as she tries to reconcile her midlife body with her teenage heart, navigate her claustrophobic social circle, and let her daughter live her own life. On top of it all, Ganahl has to manage being thrust into the public eye when her very successful new column exposes her life to the world. Frank and funny, sassy and self-aware, Naked on the Page is a tale of one womans romp through middle-aged dating that will appeal to anyone who has ever loved or loathed being single.

Synopsis:

Jane Ganahl is one of millions of single people out there looking for love at midlife, and she?s (more or less) happy (damn it!)

Jane Ganahl is forty-nine, single, and loving it?mostly. In Naked on the Page, Ganahl chronicles the highs, lows, and in-betweens of dating at midlife, along with the professional and personal changes that come fast and furious as she heads toward her fiftieth birthday. Writer of the popular ?Single Minded? column for the San Francisco Chronicle, Ganahl employs keen insight and lively wit as she recounts the events of one tumultuous year in her life. Smart, funny, and always honest, Naked on the Page proves that there?s still plenty of life?and love?after youth is gone.
