In this irresistible memoir, the New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize Anna Quindlen writes about looking back and aheadmdashand celebrating it allmdashas she considers marriage, girlfriends, our mothers, faith, loss, all the stuff in our closets, and more. As she did in her beloved New York Times columns, and in A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Quindlen says for us here what we may wish we could have said ourselves. Using her past, present, and future to explore what matters most to women at different ages, Quindlen talks about Marriage ldquoA safety net of small white lies can be the bedrock of a successful marriage. You wouldnrsquot believe how cheaply I can do a kitchen renovation.rdquo Girlfriends ldquoAsk any woman how she makes it through the day, and she may mention her calendar, her to-do lists, her babysitter.
