![]() ![]() Jackson, whose screenwriting credits include 'Confessions of a Shopaholic,' relates this tale of upper-middle-class suffering and redemption in Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Why Fifty Is Not the New Thirty, a self-help book that purports to tell female baby boomers the truth about aging.Ĭhapter by chapter, Jackson takes on topics about which much ink has been spilled since the first boomer qualified for a senior discount. Voila! The kid shaped up, and Jackson had a project, and eventually, a new career. There her daughter, then enrolled in a private school on Manhattan's Upper East Side, experienced what it was like to use a pit toilet and eat gruel for lunch instead of at the fancy Madison Avenue diner around the corner from their apartment where she would charge up to US$1,000 a month on her mother's credit card. Finally, after months of trying to resuscitate her near-comatose career, Jackson sucked it up with the help of a quote from Virginia Woolf - "Arrange whatever pieces come your way" - and made a documentary about taking her spoiled teenager to the slums of India. When that didn't work, Jackson wallowed in self-pity. Sign up for The Gleaner’s morning and evening newsletters. ![]()
