<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When 49-year-old Anne Kreamer saw a horrifying photo of her harshly dyed brown hair, she realized she wasn't kidding anyone. So she set out a plan: over the next few months she would give up her weekly visits to the salon and let her hair go its natural way. The result is <em>Going Gray</em>: an exploration of that experience and a frank, funny, and unflinchingly wise investigation of aging today. Through interviews, experiments, and surprising personal acounts, Kreamer probes the issues behind two of the biggest fears mature women face: <em>Can I be sexually attractive as a gray-haired middle-aged woman?</em> and <em>Will I be discriminated against in the work world</em>? In searching for the balance between attrectiveness and authenticity, Kreamer offers an entertaining and valuable look at the politics and personal costs of our definition of "aging gracefully."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anne Kreamer</b> is the former executive vice-president and worldwide creative director of Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite, and a co-founder of SPY magazine.
