Fantastic Read!!!
August 5, 2017
I recently had the chance to stay at a ranch in Montana with three other wonderful ladies. Aged 59, 72, 75 and 90. We took turns reading the book out loud. Everyone enjoyed the author's humor, we never laughed so much! I enjoyed reading out loud because it gave each one of us the opportunity to tell about there own experiences. If your not going to Montana and have to read the book alone, I would still highly recommend it!!!

Well worth the read. Makes you giggle while making you think. It makes you realize how much women of a certain age have in common.

Yes it was amusing but since I am well past the beginning of middle age (81), I was past most conditions, but still sparkle. I will give the book to my daughter who is just starting to sparkle.

The author faces how our bodies age with such humor, I laughed out loud. It's always good to know those things are normal. Even facing the decisions for our funerals or celebrations can be met with some humor.
Ms Kane also writes how important girl friends are, whether long time friends or current. I'm looking forward to her follow up book.

This book was hilarious, informative and just fun to read. As another " Woman of a certain age" I could identify with every word. And as a grammie & a widow, many things really hit home. I enjoyed out so much, I bought 10 copies and gav them to sisters & friends.

I have to admit this isn't the type of book I'm naturally drawn to, but when I picked it up I didn't want to put it down. Ms. Kane writes about what so many women of a certain age are thinking and experiencing and she does it with wit, humor and honesty. Every anecdote is so engaging I couldn't wait for the next one. Her writing makes you feel as if you're out for dinner with her and sharing your life over a glass of wine. She even makes becoming a tad introspective or melancholy something that you can handle with a dose of humor, a group of solid girlfriends and of course a liberal dose of "Sparkle"! I await her next book. Could she be the Erma Bombeck of her generation?

So enjoyed Sparkle On: Women Aging In Gratitude. It’s a love letter from author Kim Kane to women and the life cycle. Kane’s voice in these mini-essays/reflections is honest, and rich in humor--so many Lol moments. The narrative also incorporates interview material from other women, insights into their thoughts, and experiences on aging. While highly witty, Sparkle On also sure-handedly touches on serious subjects; in total, Kane offers poignant lessons about the life cycle.

This little book is just delightful! While it reads like a CONVERSATION one could have with oneself about acceptance of the inevitable and an approach to these challenging times, Kim's unique ability to create a wise voice is a treat. With its honesty, humor, and respect for a 'certain age,' Kim Kane allows readers to come away with an altered attitude to assist in the continuing journey. I immediately had to get copies for some of my closest college friends; I can hardly WAIT to hear what they have to say. Thanks Kim!
