Description

In this honest and tender collection of essays, award-winning memoirist Michele Weldon asks what it means to be a mature woman seeking a life of purpose and meaning through work, family, and relationships.

Facing ageism and invisibility within popular culture, Weldon examines the effects of raising children, striving for applause, failing expectations, forming new friendships, reconciling lost dreams, and restoring one's faith.

With sincerity and humor, she unwraps family traditions, painting classes, lap swimming, and dress codes.

She contemplates privilege and career disappointments. And she asks crucial questions of mortality, finding connection in writing and stories. Frank, eloquent, and daring, Weldon dissects the intricacies of life, journeying toward self-discovery as a mother, daughter, sister, and friend.

Readers of any age or gender will recognize the universal experience of learning to accept oneself and asking essential questions-even if there are no easy answers.
