First glimpsed as a slender   figure on a fogged-in beach, Joan Erikson was not only a friend and confidante when   she was most needed, but also a guide as Anderson stretched and grew into her unfinished   self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Joan Erikson was perhaps best known for her collaboration with her husband,   Erik, a pioneering psychoanalyst and noted author. After Erik’s death, she wrote   several books extending their theory of the stages of life to reflect her understanding   of aging as she neared ninety-five. But her wisdom was best taught through their   friendship; as she sat with Anderson, weaving tapestries of their lives with brightly   colored yarn while exploring the strength gathered from their accumulated experiences,   Joan Erikson’s lessons took shape on their small cardboard looms as well as in her   friend’s revitalized life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In writing about their extraordinary friendship, Anderson   reveals a need she didn’t know she had: for a mentor to help navigate the transitions   she faced as she grew beyond middle age. And when Joan Erikson had to face her husband’s   death and the growing limitations of her own body, Anderson was able to give back   some of the wisdom she had gleaned. To this poignant, joyful account, Joan Anderson   brings the candor and sensitivity that have made her an acclaimed speaker and writer   on midlife and its possibilities. \u003ci\u003eA Walk on the Beach\u003c\/i\u003e is an experience to savor and   treasure, a glimpse of the exuberant spirit that can be sustained and passed on in   all our friendships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOAN ANDERSON\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the bestsellers \u003ci\u003eA Year by the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAn Unfinished Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e.
