Don’t Buy Green Bananas …A Humorous Journey Through the Sometimes Puzzling World of Aging

DMM Barbara Hance wrote this book to share her feelings about the experience of owning her own business and working with the elderly and disabled, to show how it is better to laugh than to wallow in despair, and to demonstrate how humor has a way of connecting people. Through a special arrangement with her publisher we are able to offer this lovely 193 page hardback book to members at a discount. When AADMM Board Member Fredi O’Hara reviewed this book in 2005, she called it “a poignant journey thorough all life’s unexpected . . . peppered with Barbara’s very humorous observations and frustrations as she deals with her own aging process.” Each chapter stands alone as she introduces the reader to the real characters in her story and at chapter’s end there is a lesson to be learned which she relates with humor and love. Ms. O’Hara recommends that “reading it is a present you give yourself and you may want to present it to someone as a warm act of sharing.”
