What People Are Saying About “The Viagra Diaries”
“I love this book! Barbara paints a funny as well as poignant picture of dating, romantic love, parenting an adult daughter, and sex after sixty. Barbara tells the truth and this book vibrates with razor sharp wit.”
Joan Rivers – Comedienne
“Barbara Rose Brooker is fearless. The Viagra Diaries does for single seniors what Helen Gurley Brown’s Sex and the Single Girl and Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying did for the women’s sexual revolution in the sixties and seventies. Through the eyes of the wonderfully witty, wounded and wistfully romantic Anny Applebaum, we discover a world few authors have dared to enter – the dating lives of the over sixty set. What we find there is humor, heartache and hope. Brooker’s prose is poetry. She doesn’t write this story, she paints it in the subtlest, refined colors imaginable.”
Bradly Bessey, Co-Executive Producer – Entertainment Tonight
“This is a most timely read in regard to how fast-track medication, relationships and communication impact not only who we are and how we behave but also how one manages to keep a healthy perspective.”
Edward Asner – Actor
“I stayed up all night to read The Viagra Diaries. I love the characters, the writing, and Anny Applebaum. She is introspective, real, and funny. She inspires me. It’s a great book.”

“THEY MARCH for peace. They march for politics. But 73-year-old novelist Barbara Rose Brooker believes that American women must also march for freedom from age discrimination.”
Jessica Yadegaran – Contra Costa Times & The Miami Herald
“I started your book this morning and can’t put it down. I forgot how much I love reading. I have been laughing since page 1. I have to see you do the play. Please let me know when you have another one in town. Going back to reading now. What a treat.”
Kathy Miner, Executive Director – A Miner Miracle, Winner of “Oprah’s Angel Network” award
