5.0 out of 5 stars Are you in a midlife crisis? This might get you on the right track. January 16, 2009

By Boomer

Format:Paperback

It's could almost be sad to say that books about the midlife crisis have become relatively available. However, there is something very compelling about a writer baring her emotional soul to the anonymous reader.

In this case, Laura Lee Carter writes a very heartfelt and well-thought out chronicle of her journey through leaving an abusive marriage, losing her job in her late 40's and a hysterectomy to a successful rediscovery of self and a promising look at the next stage of her life.

Complete with a reference guide and peppered with motivating quotes and resources, Laura Lee's book is a quick read, sure to give you a boost of inspiration for managing your own midlife crisis!

5.0 out of 5 stars Midlife Magic: Becoming the Person You are Inside! February 22, 2009

By Mary Carlson

Format:Paperback

After a series of mind-reeling changes in her life, including a divorce and the loss of her longtime job, Laura Lee Carter realized that she had a unique opportunity to honor her age and current age-related woes to emerge as the "Midlife Crisis Queen."

It was the creation of a sunroom in her dowdy post-divorce home that began Carter's journey to reinvent herself as a fulfilled, creative and caring woman willing to share that journey with others like herself.

Midlife Magic is personally written, and Carter speaks directly to the reader. At every paragraph, I found myself saying, "Why, she is writing about me! She gets me. My issues are real!"

Carter's first person style of writing is like having her sitting in my living room counseling me one on one. While I am not divorced, nor did I lose a job, Carter's book has what it takes to counsel people undergoing life changes of any kind.

Midlife Magic: Becoming the Person You are Inside is an enjoyable read that will let you take away exactly the advice you need while learning that you are not alone in your journey.

Kudos to Laura Lee Carter on her first book. May many follow!

Laura Lee Carter tells it like it is and is in touch with the human condition.
This slice of life from Ms. Carter is a must for anyone and should be listed under Maturity 101.
Three cheers for her.
