This is a blatant plug for my friends book. I am half way thorough and would recommend it . Would say that some of the stories do need a trigger warning for DV and the like.
All the short stories are by different woman and their life stories. All varied, some have kids some don t, some have careers ,some don t . Some of the stories talk about the invisibility of getting old, some don t. it is a great collection of life paths that woman have and are travelling....
