Andrea Gilats insightfully chronicles a journey to and through old age that is both deeply personal and universal. It is a biography of roads taken and forgone, of growth and self-actualization despite the ageism infusing our society. Radical Endurance depicts old age as embodying uncertain futures, to be sure, but also unfettered freedom.
