Honey, They Shrunk My Hormones: Humor and Insight from the Trenches of MidlifeWith compassion and insight, Caron Chandler Loveless uses humor -- lots of it -- to inspire and encourage women as they face midlife. Loveless writes with sensitivity about more than estrogen and hot flashes; she confronts self-image questions, the empty-nest syndrome, ailing parents, and the fear of letting go, among other topics, and gives a hopeful outlook to the new world that lies ahead. |
