HERE IS WHAT RHODA SAYS ABOUT HER BOOKS AND HER LIFE:

Rhoda: Her First Ninety Years is an honest and candid memoir of a first generation American woman who was willing to change the direction of her life every twelve years.

The curiosity and passion that infuse the stories of Rhoda's life, her three husbands, her many lovers, and her willingness to move from one career to another will appeal to all adventurous souls who have ever swum against the current.

Details about life in Depression era Chicago, pre-World War Two Berkeley, Bohemian San Francisco, and experiences at the Office of War Information in Washington, D.C. bring to life places and periods long gone. The book takes readers through failures as well as successes, humorously underscoring determination and resilience, all attributes needed for survival.

The book's final chapters take the reader to Japan, South Korea, China, Russia and Hungary, and further adventures world wide. It ends with the story of Rhoda meeting the love of her life (and most satisfying sexual partner), when she was seventy-two and he was eighty-five.

After Ninety, What is a reflective series of essays, poems, stories, a play, dealing with what Rhoda calls "the examined life." She writes about the tapes we carry in our heads, including the ones she carries, and how active acceptance and confrontation helped her put those tapes where they belong - in the past, in a different life.

Here is a review of AFTER NINETY, WHAT from Bob Scher, Author/Consultant:

If someone assumes this is a vanity book of memoirs, nothing could be further off the mark. It is a subtly searing examination of Rhoda Curtis's life as told through the relationships with her family and others close to her. The dark, the light, the resolutions, and the unresolved are all faced evenly. And underneath is an undaunted compassion. This is an inspirational book, not because of any doctrine it espouses but because the author has an unquenchable love of living. It reminds me of a line from Spoon River: "It takes life to love Life."

At 93 plus, Rhoda is still writing; at present you can read her articles on Aging and other subjects on the Huffington Post (June, July, August, 2011) and on her blog on www.Redroom.com. You can also find these articles on the "Other Writings" link.
