"Anyone who has gazed at the rising moon or the emerging stars at twilight knows the beauty of this hour of day. Frank Cunningham reminds us that the 'vesper time' of life is a rich seedbed for spiritual growth." --Judith Valente, PBS-TV, and author, Atchison Blue: A Search for Silence, a Spiritual Home, and a Living Faith

"A thoughtful little book that reflects on the issues and graces that influence the spiritual life as one grows older.... [Cunningham's] words are sensitive, validating, and encouraging as he describes the challenges and blessings encountered at each stage. This is not a work of psychology or philosophy but a loving affirmation of life nearing its completion.... Recommended for parish libraries and personal enrichment." --John Leonard Berg, in Catholic Library World
