About the Book:
The Secret Sex Lives of Older Women – Introducing Judy, author, former nurse educator, university lecturer, photographic model, cigarette girl,[it was a different era] film extra and mother of four very conservative children, exploring how today’s older women came to understand intimacy, relationships, and themselves.
