January 24, 2009: I saw the author on the Today show and knew I had to get this book. It's a very uplifting collection of stories from real women in their 40s, which provide hope for all of us facing that age. Let's face it, it's not the end of the world, but the beginning of your true, creative self. You've lerned a lot and know a lot. And, your children adore you! Go out and soar.
