When Joan was writing Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex after Sixty and reading drafts to me, often I’d stop her and say, “You’re not going to include that, are you?” and she’d say, “Yes, I am.”

A private person, I worried that she was getting too detailed and personal. But I went along with her when she insisted, “It’s got to be told as it is.”

Now I willingly eat my words. The book does exactly what is needed in our lives and our culture. It doesn’t beat around the bush–it is truly straight talk, without in any way cheapening the subject. In fact, it elevates the subject through honesty that can be respected at every turn of the page.
