About Between a Rock and a Hot Place
• Paperback: 304 pages
• Publisher: Harper Paperbacks (February 21, 2012)
As she approached her fiftieth birthday, Tracey Jackson found herself bombarded by a catchphrase on everyone’s lips: “Fifty is the new thirty.” With a comedy writer’s training and a screenwriter’s eye for detail, Jackson skewers that particular myth with a hilarious, bare-knuckled, and ultimately practical appraisal of what middle age really means today. Jackson not only faces the elephant in the room, she puts it under a (very large) microscope, confronting the truth about death, work, and sex in what the French call the “third age.”
“Tracey Jackson confronts the speed bumps of life with wit, brilliant insights, and…common sense….Between a Rock and a Hot Place is more than a good read, it’s good company.”
—John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
