Book Description
It's often in the unseen moments that we tackle the cathartic stuff of life-the stuff that defines who we are, and how we view ourselves. In this honest, edgy collection, thirty women reveal the nitty-gritty reality behind their most defining experiences. From first jobs and former lovers, to marriage and motherhood, these are the milestones that uncover new meanings, test who we are, and inspire us all to take action on our own:
A grieving divorcee finally puts her past behind her when her gal-pals hold a liberating funeral for her living ex-husband. A late-night drive through the back roads of Texas leads one corporate striver to a mysterious roadhouse, where she unexpectedly encounters her destiny. A woman gets a heavy dose of first-date jitters when her new guy surprises her with dinner-at a nudist retreat. A military wife and mother must take "housework" to a whole new level when her husband is posted to the Middle East. A spunky mom reconnects with three-generations of Italian-American heritage and years and years of forgotten tears. A recently divorced young mother resorts to desperate measures to find a job at any cost.
Featuring intimate Q&A interviews with each contributor, HerStory is as lively and lovely as an impromptu slumber party with best friends. Inspired by the strength, style, and humor found within these pages, you'll find the guts and glory you need to transform your own life, one unseen moment at a time.
