Yet, as the contributors to this thoughtful and inspiring book attest, it doesn't have to be so scary. <br><br> In <i>The May Queen</i>, a wide array of women-including bestselling author Jennifer Weiner and star of the hit independent film <i>Kissing Jessica Stein</i> Heather Juergensen-describe the conflicting emotions they've felt in response to the "anything is possible" message women of their generation receive. And yet, all of the women featured in this book have found their thirties to be a time of great opportunity-a period in their lives in which they're taking the time to consider what they have lost, what they have gained, and what they still need to learn. This book gives a powerful voice to a new generation of women beginning to make its mark on the world. 1008127 23 3 2006 The May Queen total:62|5:14|4:21|3:17|2:10|1:0| 62 225 106 22 0 0 false false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 17 11:36:11 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 30 12:35:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 22:42:34 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 23:03:46 -0700 2008
