I bought Knowing Pains, an essay anthology marketed as "by and for" women in their 40's, because of Maria Hjelm's essay about the loss of her mother, Just a Blip. Hearing it reminded me of my mother's raw pain at the recent loss of her mother.
Love. Loss. Sex. Self-awareness. Friendships. These experiences transcend age. Swap stories with women of varied generations and you'll see -- we are more alike than different.
Don't let the cover-hype age you out.
These are new voices worth hearing.
Helping support breast cancer education? An added bonus.

Thanks for posting that. We need to attract as many readers as we can, because it's a great book but also to raise money for the cause!
