Perfect for unwinding in the tub

I have had this book since it came out in 2005, I have read it off and on whenever the mood strikes me in between novels. It's just a great book, I read a story or two during a bath. If you like real stories by real women then this book will be great for you. Purchasing another copy for my aunt for Christmas.

a funny and inspiring read

I'm so glad I bought this book! I enjoyed reading it so much that I had trouble putting it down, even when my 17 month old wanted something! And the most amazing aspect of this book was the follow-up! Each story has a follow-up question and answer between the writer and the editor and it is fascinating to read! As a new parent, I really valued the stories involving children, especially since they tended to look at the humorous side of parenting issues. But I also loved the stories that took me out of my own day to day with baby and helped me to remember how life used to be. Thoughtful, creative, and engaging, there is a story for everyone in this book.

An impressive selection of voices

I was really impressed with the diversity of the women's voices. The stories were all so different, yet I could connect to each of the women's experiences. I also appreciated how there seemed to be such a positive or hopeful spin in each of the endings. I would definitely go back to reread some of my favorites in the future.

Happy Reading!

I loved this collection of amazing stories of strong, powerful and often funny women working through life's ups and downs. My husband confessed that he's been reading it on the sly! I highly recommend it! Great gift idea.

Great Curling Up to Read by the Fire Book

Very real stories of true women's experiences with men, with love, with loss, with overcoming. I laughed, I cried, I had some ah-ha moments, and I hated for the book to end.
