I'm Not Done Yet! is a lively primer on remaining relevant into the so-called retirement years. Ed Koch, the colorful three-term mayor of New York City and now a noted television and radio personality, columnist, and commentator, offers anecdotal evidence to suggest that the healthiest outlook on advancing age is to keep active at the work you love.
Koch reflects on life after politics and life after turning seventy. The book takes readers through the author's various career turns since losing the Democratic mayoral primary to David Dinkins in 1989, with occasional looks back at related experiences and childhood memories. Included are discussions of the up- and downturns of what Koch refers to as the third act of his varied career, and a frank account of his recent medical history.
Published to coincide with Koch's seventy-fifth birthday, I'm Not Done Yet! ends with the author's vision of his own obituary, reflecting on the life he has lived and the choices he has made. Here, for the first time, he speaks openly about what it has meant to live a life alone-without a partner, without children-and what it might mean in the years ahead.
By turns funny, candid, insightful, and unflinchingly honest, I'm Not Done Yet! is a fearless account of an extraordinary man's understanding of what it means to reach one's autumn years.

I'm Not Done Yet: Keeping at It, Remaining Relevant, and Having the Time of My Life
When nine-year-old Olivia and her five-year-old sister Nellie’s mother dies, their father sends them to live with their great-aunt Minty. This arrangement seems less than promising to Olivia, who worries about the demanding and difficult Nellie. When the girls find a beautiful blue teacup in Aunt Minty’s garden however, they are drawn into a summer-long quest to find the entire set, a necessary part of the counter-charm needed to free the Lost Flower Children, spoken of in a story Olivia has read about this very garden.
A moving story about two young girls and how they come to terms with their mother’s death, The Lost Flower Children possesses Lisle’s characteristic blend of fantasy and reality, in which the reader is never sure if the magic is real or imagined. The faintest touch of real magic at the end, another Lisle characteristic, gives emphasis to the book’s journey of imagination. Recommended to anyone seeking children's fiction that addresses the death of a parent, and the healing process.
