Professor Bruce Stevens offers us a rich account and analysis of stories from the aging. In doing so he provides remarkable insight into the importance and abiding value of a narrative therapy. In doing so he builds on and extends our understanding of the storied self; the deep stories we dwell in and that shape our lives. What we discover is a discernible thread of spiritual understanding in the lives of those who are towards the latter years of their life. The result is a deeply touching and wise book that will be of great encouragement to all who care for and accompany the elderly as they are freed to tell their story.
