My 100-Year-Old Friends—In Their Words is a heartfelt celebration of life, love, and laughter, sharing the unforgettable stories of centenarians and supercentenarians who have spent a century embracing joy and gathering wisdom. These narratives are honest and deeply human, preserving each storyteller’s unique voice with warmth, charm, and vitality. Together, they offer a vivid and uplifting portrait of what it means to truly live over the course of a hundred remarkable years.

Author Gerry Justice beautifully preserves the life stories of individuals over the age of 100, exploring their memories, feelings, and reflections in a way that honors their experiences and teaches future generations about the past and how it shaped the world we know today. Their recollections may stem from another era, yet they remain deeply poignant, offering a powerful journey through lives touched by events such as the sinking of the Titanic and World War II. Justice’s writing is well organized, presenting each centenarian’s story in its own chapter and capturing the emotional, physical, and spiritual arcs of their remarkable lives with clarity and respect. An added bonus is the discussion questions at the end that prompt solid discussions.

Narrator Daniel Houle speaks with clarity and warmth, asking the questions listeners long to hear and guiding each interview with a steady, smooth cadence. He skillfully conveys the emotion and individuality of every centenarian, projecting their words with authenticity and honoring the depth of their stories.

This is a fascinating book, filled with wisdom and sentiments reminiscent of those I heard growing up. It is a treasured collection of experiences and journeys that every generation should have the opportunity to learn from.
