Book Description
The eleven writers featured here, in this inaugural collection of personal essays, are the Lena Dunhams
of our generation — a little older, possibly a little wiser, certainly
more experienced and generally less inclined to parade around naked. The
essays — taken from our site's popular Voices series — covers
everything from finding love in midlife to the joys and heartbreak of
adoption to a longtime married couple navigating the shoals of their new
stay-at-home status to a bold journey of intimate reawakening.
Collectively, they reflect the emotional truth of how we live today. (available on amazon. com)

ReplyDeleteB) Sometimes, at the end of a year that just threw everything at us with both hands, we absolutely deserve to stand back and say, "DAMN, I did it. I lived through it all." You get to do that at the end of 2013, for sure.
C) "silver-plattered moments handed to me by angels" <-- That is great.
