International Memoir Writers Association would like to congratulate
2022 October Member of the Month… Suzanne Spector!
There are so many incredible members in our organization and this month’s spotlighted member is the unstoppable Suzanne Spector.
In September Naked At The Helm – Independence And Intimacy in The Second Half Of Life Susan’s spirited and moving debut memoir was published. This book will change your way of thinking about growing older. Not necessarily the stories you have heard from your mother or grandmother, this witty insightful book is a celebration of women’s friendships, sexual liberation, and unplanned career fulfillment.
“I decided to write my memoir when the younger women in my writing group reacted to my stories with surprise, and even shock. Their reaction to my red-hot love affair at eighty years old illuminated the rampant misconceptions about aging that exist today. So many people dread getting older and think of it as a downward slide. For me, it was a fulfilling upward staircase with a new activity every few years.” Suzanne Spector
Eighty-six-year-old Suzanne is wise, feisty, talented, and a force. Here at IMWA we honor and adore Suzanne. Read her book. You will love it! I promise.
