Reader Reviews
Even though I am post-menopausal I am still laughing my way through these stories, just wishing the book had been published five years ago (although I wouldn't have had the pleasure of being a contributor then). This is a great book for every woman even close to menopause age. Just knowing we're all in this together is a comfort. The book is a hoot...and what can be better for your soul than a good laugh!
