You may know Judith Viorst for her beloved children’s book, “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” Now, she comes to Washington Hebrew to discuss her newest book, “Making the Best of What’s Left.” Blending humor and vulnerability, Viorst — now in her nineties — explores the joys and sorrows of life’s “Final Fifth,” those ages 80 to 100. This witty and poignant reflection on life’s twilight years will leave you laughing, pondering, and grateful — whether you’re in your “Final Fifth” or have parents, relatives or friends in their eighties and beyond.
