"IT'S AS IF WE'VE BECOME AMERICA'S GRANDMAS."
That's how Sadie Delany described the outpouring of affection and admiration that followed the success of Having Our Say, the best-selling memoir she and her sister published in 1993. Now they offer their fans a treasury of grandmotherly good sense: memorable aphorisms, engaging anecdotes, rules for managing money, practical advice on staying active in old age, and some favorite recipes, too. It's a book filled with the secrets of living well, from two women who did it for more than a century.

Revisit Sadie and Bessie who felt in lieu of answering the letters and requests they've received, they would write another book. Morris delivers this treat with style. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
