Description

In this laughter-through-tears memoir, Sallie Weissinger, a late-in-life widow, recounts the highs and lows of navigating the tricky online dating world of the 2000s. Interwoven throughout her adventures in search of a new relationship are stories from her childhood as a military brat, her southern heritage, her various marriages, and the volunteer work in Central and South America that helped her keep moving forward through it all.


Weissinger keeps her sense of humor as she meets men who lie, men who try to extort money, and men with unsavory pasts. When she experiences even more loss, her search for a partner becomes less important, but—with the help of friends and dogs—she perseveres and, ultimately, develops her own approach to meeting “HIM.” Blending the deeply serious and the lighthearted, Yes Again shows us that good things happen when we open up our minds and hearts.

A Note From the Publisher
SALLIE H. WEISSINGER is a native of New Orleans and was raised as a military brat away from the South (Germany, New Mexico, Ohio, Japan, and Michigan). Every summer, she and her family returned to visit her mother’s relatives in New Orleans and her father's family in a small Alabama town. She has lived most of her life in the Bay Area and also in New Orleans. These days, “home" includes not only New Orleans and Berkeley, but also Portland, Oregon, where she lives most of the time with her husband, Bart McMullan, a retired internal medicine doctor and health care executive, and their three dogs. A retired executive herself, she now teaches Spanish and does medical interpreting for non-profit organizations in Central America and the Dominican Republic. Weissinger is a passionate member of the Berkeley Rotary Club and has served on the boards of Berkeley Rotary, the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley, and the East Bay (formerly Oakland) SPCA.

Advance Praise

"A funny, touching, and ultimately uplifting story of a woman searching for love and purpose.”

KIRKUS REVIEWS

"Sallie Weissinger celebrates her seventy-fifth birthday in Yes, Again by taking the reader on a tour of her big heart and where that heart has taken her. This glorious story of a life lived in love is the perfect read because it's hilarious, honest, and full of hope. We are all lovers, or we wish we were, and Sallie shows us how: never give up, occasionally give in, and don't stop believing. Brava!"

ADRIANA TRIGIANI, best-selling author of Tony's Wife

"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."

CAMILLE GOSCICKI, VITALAGING4WOMEN.COM

"This memoir gives us the fascinating story of a woman's quest for a meaningful life. It is by turns charming, hilarious, heartwarming, and tragic, and yet, in the end, it delivers hope. I don't ask for more."

LYNN FREED, award-winning novelist, short story writer, and essayist

"I have spent decades writing about how to live well. In her book, Sallie Weissinger writes about something maybe even more important—how to love well. And she does so spectacularly. Hers is the book for everyone who has loved and lost, and wants to love again."

EUGENIA KILLORAN, co-author of The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life

"Linearity works for many things; however, in Sallie Weissinger's potent book (and even more potent life) she shows us how tapping into grace can be a tangible way of entering into mystery, meaning, and direction. By recounting times of staggering loss, loneliness, self-doubt, perseverance, and openness to the ineffable, Sallie demonstrates how the journey of life can be a glorious pathway for those with a bit of daring!"

BILL SAY, MA, life coach, Process Work Diplomate, and instructor at CIIS, JFK University, and the Wright Institute

"After reading Sallie's soulful book, I have to say this gifted writer got the love she wanted the old-fashioned way . . . she earned it!"

LACY J. DALTON, singer and songwriter

“This captivating memoir of not giving up through profound losses and leaning into the promise of good things to come swelled my heart. With a chuckle and grit, Weissinger writes of her risky quest to find a new life and partner to love. Her vast and interesting life experiences make for intriguing reading. Pick up this book and see how she finds joy and delight!”
