Chicago Examiner – April 16, 2011
“This is not just a story about a group of women, but also a story about generations, about relationships, about the fluid motion of relationships over lifetimes. It is about a coming of age in middle age, and about facing the questions we all must eventually face. Who am I? Am I a success? Does it matter?…

Mother’s Day is coming up. This would be a good book to share with your Mom. And your best friend. This is a good book to read when you still have plans and dreams, and when you’re coming to the realization of them – or not. And this is what sets this story apart; the very human characters, the very real description of what they are going through. I could describe this as a story about equal rights, about friendship, about relationships, about so much. I will let you bring to it what you will and remember what you need to. “
