Some stories are priceless, others political rants. I would have preferred it if the author didn't impose her commentary throughout every chapter. Wasn't crazy about her writing style and found her presence in every story imposing and vain. However, this is the only book I've found on the market that offers views of this critical life change that are not limited to the body. Amen.

I loved this book! It journeys through women's lives and the author shares her insights and what she has learned along the way. I highly recommend this book to all women, young and old.

I LOVED this book - it made going through menopause a gift rather than a curse. If you're there, or almost there, READ THIS.
