Critical Praise

"I love Tracy Jackson’s new book. She’s a hell of a writer. Between a Rock and a Hot Place is sexy, witty, energizing, smart, and full of terrific advice and experience from one who has been to 50 and come back to tell the tale. Run, do not walk, to get the book, and then call your nutritionist, your GYN, your health club, your nearest Whole Foods, your mothers and daughters, and tell them all about it."

—Judy Collins

"A fiercely funny book about a most unfunny subject-aging."

—Erica Jong

"Glib, gossipy, and genuinely gutsy, Jackson’s take on this middle-aged milestone will have any woman who is 50, approaching 50, or waving bye-bye in the rear-view mirror wondering, ‘Who is this woman and how did she get inside my head?’"

—Booklist

"Finally, there is a voice of reality to counter the claims of a youth-oriented culture and put forward the idea that successful aging isn’t about denying reality, but planning for the future. Screenwriter Jackson writes with the humor of Nora Ephron, the honesty of a fifty-something, and the reality of medical science to commiserate on the aging process (e.g., death of friends) and help readers prepare for the best future life possible."

—Library Journal

"If you’re thirty you should read this book, if you’re forty you should read this book, if you’re fifty, you should definitely read this book."

—Martha Stewart, The Martha Stewart Show

"Laugh-out-loud funny."

—O, The Oprah Magazine
