Expert Reviews
"With a Little Help from Our Friends is timely and instructive. By weaving together stories about nine ways to think about community building, Beth Baker helps Boomers imagine alternatives as they prepare for living arrangements more permanent than Woodstock and less scary than where their (grand)parents ended up."

-W. Andrew Achenbaum, Deputy Director of the Consortium on Aging at the University of Texas Medical School
