Primed for life: Writings on midlife by 18 men

"The pain of being a man is a theme which men would rather not dwell on, but when one is reflecting on one's condition in midlife, that is almost impossible, For most of these men, delving into and baring their inner lives is a daring first-time experience. No one is diminished in his manhood; each one proves to be an engaging human being... Here are gems of glimpses into men's inner lives that we will find nowhere else except in good fiction." -from the Foreword by Mariel N. Francisco
