97 Speaks: Lessons from the Decades

97 Speaks is a walk through almost 100 years of an extraordinary life with all of the lessons and observations that only a writer and keen observer can offer. Babette Hughes draws directly from the wisdom and experience and drama of her long life.

It's all there -- the murder of her father when she was two years old, Prohibition, The Great Depression, World War Two, the struggles and great victories of a feminist during the fifties and tumultuous sixties, and the love, loss, and resiliency of a mother and wife.

Throughout Babette's story we learn from her inspiring example and her "secret" of how, at the age of 97, she lives agelessly.
