Honey, They Shrunk My Hormones [Paperback]

Caron Chandler Loveless (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2003

With 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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book is a joyful, encouraging, humorous look at midlife issues aimed at the woman approaching or in the midst of this often misunderstood and confusing season.

This book's candid essays are funny but not silly, poignant but not sappy, and always insightful, turning to Scripture for a balanced perspective.

Loveless engages the reader with lists like "Blasts from the Past Worth Keeping" and a hilarious midlife-awareness quiz.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Shrinking Hormones are Validated!, February 26, 2003

This weekend I received a copy of Caron Loveless' book and read it non-stop. I couldn't put it down! I laughed, I groaned, I sighed, and I winced as Caron's honesty and winsome humor hit the nail (or should I say "hormone") on the head time after time. Those in the midlife of womanhood will be encouraged and challenged to not only except the challenges of this crazy time of life, but also learn to find the sweeter deeper side of all the physical, mental, and emotional changes. Thumbs! A+! Five stars! I plan to buy copies for friends' birthdays and also form an accountability group that can enjoy the book together. I know it will be a bonding experience. Bravo Caron!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheers from a Middle Aged Mom, April 17, 2003

This review is from: Honey, They Shrunk My Hormones (Paperback)

This is only the second book that I have read in the last six months since I became a Mom. I couldn't put it down. I haven't hit menopause yet, but pregnancy hormones were similar and I feel like I have a better handle on what is to come. The stories were full of the fragilty and humor of life. The comments from other ladies at the end of each section were great. It was nice to hear from such a cross section of lives. Thank you Caron for being so transparent and vulnerable and to allow us to walk through this phase of life WITH you.
