An amazingly written heart-warming memoir, Yes, Again doesn't fail to wrench our hearts and tear up our eye corners every now and then. Recounting her journey of finding love(s), heartbreaks, losses, grief, perseverance, and pain, Yes, Again is more a tale of self-discovery and hope, rather than melancholy. Reading through Weissinger's path is a brilliant treat, and I loved every page of it.

Praise and More for Yes, Again
"A funny, touching, and ultimately uplifting story of a woman searching for love and purpose."

—Foreword Reviews
"If you like to read memoirs, you won’t be disappointed in Sallie Weissinger’s Yes, Again. I really loved it...it was a pleasure to read a book written by a woman who didn’t let age get in the way of seeking love and living life fully. While she may not have realized it when writing, Sallie provided a life lesson for those of us of a certain age: There’s no reason not to take charge of our lives and make things happen. Whether it’s looking for love, reaching personal and professional goals, or living on purpose every day, women can disrupt aging and rise to life’s challenges."

"Weissinger writes with the kind of universally accessible flair that makes a good memoir shine....not only a funny romp through the dating world, but a heartfelt look at Weissinger’s feelings about the loss of her husband and an inspiring take on, as they say, ‘getting back out there.’ "
