Sherry Ruth Anderson
Sherry Ruth Anderson, Ph.D. is a writer and speaker who started delving into the matter of growing old by the time she turned fifty. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey, she was a curious kid, staggering home from the library with towers of books in her arms. Wanting to discover other worlds. By thirty-five, working as a research psychologist and raising a family in Toronto, she was looking not so much for escape but for penetrating questions. In her forties, settled in Northern California, she was writing about questions that wouldn't go away. First, there was the best selling The Feminine Face of God: The Unfolding of the Sacred in Women (Bantam, 1991), with Patricia Hopkins, and then category best seller The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People are Changing the World (Harmony/Random House, 2000), with Paul H. Ray. Her latest book, also with questions at the core, is Ripening Time: Inside Stories for Aging with Grace. www.sherryruthanderson.com
