A Guide for Aging Heroes is a groundbreaking work that crushes stereotypes about growing older, overrides traditional societal expectations, and redefines the second half of life as a renaissance. While it engages readers in strategies for cultivating transformative life skills, A Guide for Aging Heroes reaches beyond the borders of the typical self-help book.

Over 20 years ago, in a small Israeli town, a desperate mother told a remarkable lie. She told her friends and family that her newborn child had died. That lie became the catalyst for the unfolding truth of the adoption of that same baby - Michael - who is, in fact, very much alive and now 22 years-old. He also has Down syndrome. When Kathryn Hulings adopted Michael as an infant, she could not have known that he would save her life when she became gravely ill and was left forever physically compromised.
