Praise for Judy Goldman: “If Goldman doesn’t offer easy answers to the vexing questions of life, she does outline a process by which we can puzzle our way into the moment and make the best of what fate offers us.”—Stephan Smith, Salt Magazine “When writing her memoirs, Judy does not shy away from difficult or controversial topics. One of the reasons her memoirs are so memorable is that they are not simple retellings of the surface details of her life.”—Mark West, Storied Charlotte

“I loved this book. It spoke to me in all the ways Judy Goldman hoped (I would imagine), and I’m certain it will resonate with a passel of readers, young and old. It’s an exploration of the nature of time itself: how we move through it, understand ourselves in it, and relearn ourselves in the reflection of the hearts of the people we love and the people who love us.”—Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions and This Isn’t Going to End Well: The True Story of a Man I Thought I Knew “Are you over twenty-seven years old? If 'yes,' then buy this book and read it—the sooner, the better—regardless of anything about you, other than your age. The stories and insights in The Rest of Our Lives—from memoirist Judy Goldman (and friends and family) —will connect you with a self that you will be learning about from now on. This book is about a big topic: you, your fears, your hopes, your time with the rest of us—before joining the Majority.”—Clyde Edgerton, author of Walking Across Egypt and Lunch at the Piccadilly “We carry time in our hearts, in our bones. We carry memory—the person we once were alive within the person we’ve become. In The Rest of Our Lives, a gorgeous, honest, finally hopeful book of reminisce and reckoning, Judy Goldman yields her many engaging selves and her grace-inflected wisdoms. Goldman writes toward her readers as if confiding in a friend. That is because she is our friend—unabashed, trusted, and true.”—Beth Kephart, National Book Award finalist and author of Tomorrow Will Bring Sunday’s News: A Philadelphia Story  ""Judy Goldman looks back at her life and ahead to the future with wisdom, optimism, and charm.""—Hilma Wolitzer, author of Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket Praise for Judy Goldman: “If Goldman doesn’t offer easy answers to the vexing questions of life, she does outline a process by which we can puzzle our way into the moment and make the best of what fate offers us.”—Stephan Smith, Salt Magazine “When writing her memoirs, Judy does not shy away from difficult or controversial topics.
