Beth Ann Fennelly has crafted a collection of stories and poetic reflections that immediately hook the reader as she revisits moments from her childhood, college years, marriage, career, motherhood, friendship, and aging. With humor and striking turns of phrase, she lifts the veils of fear and falsehood she once carried, inviting readers to look just as clearly at their own experiences with family, friends, children, and colleagues. I plan to gift this book to my sisters and my adult daughter, and I'll be encouraging my women friends to do the same.
