Whereas Sheehy told the story of "our parents' lives," Merser addresses an age group that has fewer and different signposts, who only at a later stage, or not at all, follow their parents' lead career, marriage, children, mortgage. For baby boomers, she contends, the passage to adulthood takes longer. It involves coming to terms with loneliness and looking for identity that is not synonymous with one's work. The bench marks are not as consistent or dependable, nor as restrictive as were the earlier generation's. In her exploration of generational differences, Mercer (Honorable Intentions: The Manners of Courtship in the '80s), has written a thoughtful, poignant questioning book. First serial to Self. -- Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
