WTF: WOMAN TURNING FIFTY
Mercurial meditations on adulthood, mortality, and menopause (as told by an unprepared Gen-Xer)
'I imagine I am not the only girl who was unprepared to be middle-aged.'
WTF is a collection of savagely personal 'postcards' -- or eclectic experiential essays -- from a former journalist on the margins of middle age. Pondering age-old questions about life, maturity, and loss, the author dips into universal truths that not even hormonal changes can alter. Or can they? These rantings – oops – we mean, writings – will hopefully help other women on the cusp of (gulp) menopause feel less alone. And you, yes YOU reading this far, you may or may not count among us, but if you love us and want to understand or perhaps simply want a laugh -- then WTF are you waiting for? This is for you, too.

WTF is an essential read for us, even when we're not in our fifties. The book stays with me long after I finished reading it. It feels so personal to me because I've walked this path before, and I felt utterly overwhelmed back then.
WTF makes me realize I'm not alone and that my journey, through its ups and downs, is precious.
