What's Next: Women Redefining Their Dreams in the Prime of Life

by Rena Pederson, Lee Smith, R. Lee Smith

Why do all the good books about midlife transition seem to focus on men? That's the question journalist Rena Pederson had, and this book is her answer.
Reading Pederson's book about women who have redefined themselves in midlife is like being in the middle of a really satisfying conversation at a college reunion. Pederson interviewed Anna Quindlen, Linda Ellerbee, Sarah Ban Breathnach, Elizabeth Dole, and Beverly Sills, as well as many fascinating but less well known women about their significant changes. Their stories will inspire readers to redefine their dreams for the next stage of life. Each chapter ends with a series of questions and suggestions, which will be helpful to many and irritating to others.
