Book Description

October 2005
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.

    I loved this collection of amazing stories of strong, powerful and often funny women working through life's ups and downs. My husband confessed that he's been reading it on the sly! I highly recommend it! Great gift idea.

    This review is from: Herstory: What I Learned in My Bathtub... and More True Stories on Life, Love, and Other Inconveniences (Paperback)
    Very real stories of true women's experiences with men, with love, with loss, with overcoming. I laughed, I cried, I had some ah-ha moments, and I hated for the book to end.

    This review is from: Herstory: What I Learned in My Bathtub... and More True Stories on Life, Love, and Other Inconveniences (Paperback)
    I'm so glad I bought this book! I enjoyed reading it so much that I had trouble putting it down, even when my 17 month old wanted something! And the most amazing aspect of this book was the follow-up! Each story has a follow-up question and answer between the writer and the editor and it is fascinating to read! As a new parent, I really valued the stories involving children, especially since they tended to look at the humorous side of parenting issues. But I also loved the stories that took me out of my own day to day with baby and helped me to remember how life used to be. Thoughtful, creative, and engaging, there is a story for everyone in this book.
