5.0 out of 5 stars Midlife Mamas on the Moon, April 23, 2004

By	Julie (Ohio) - See all my reviews

What an informative and humorous presentation of Midlife Mamas! Sunny definitely shares her experiences in a witty, positive, and personal way, covering just about every aspect of life. She offers great suggestions and stimulates the reader to action. I appreciate the sections at the end of each chapter--"The Checklist" and "The Checkup from the Neck Up". Sunny has helped define womanhood, the ups and the downs, in a provocative way. This is a MUST READ for all women!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Can Relate!, June 9, 2004

By	Myra Auster "Young Middle-Ager" (East Meadow, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked up this book expecting another dreary tale about how to cope with menopause, but got a lot more than that! I feel energized by the many tips and nuggets found in this book on everything from understanding your husband to motivating yourself to excercise. So many of the articles you rip out of newspapers and magazines are summed up here, and the book is fun to read.
