At sixty-two, Margaret had stopped asking why some mornings made her look older than she felt. She had accepted the occasional tired eyes and softer features as ordinary parts of aging. But one afternoon, while preparing for her granddaughter\u2019s wedding, she put on her favorite black blouse and stared at herself in the mirror. Something was wrong.
