This novel, however, was inspired by the acknowledgement that I am aging along with the rest of humanity, and how I, and they, deal with this basic fact of life.\u201d It is, she adds, \u201cabout our sometimes absurd quest for eternal youth,\u201d and should appeal to \u201canyone who counts birthdays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Time in a Bottle, February 2023, fiction, paperback $21.95, eBook $5.99, by Marjorie Klein, and published by Black Rose Writing, Castroville, TX.
