Benchmark birthdays have whizzed by like so many mile-markers: 21 - 30 - 40.

These folks are puzzled to find themselves now driving pre-owned vehicles with expired warranties once possessed and often mistreated by their adolescence and young adulthood.

This touching, hilarious book is intended as a guide and road map for those readers of a “certain age” who will laugh out loud as they recognise themselves and their friends who are sharing this crazy journey of life.
