I thought Bauermeister understands contemporary women's lives perfectly! Whether writing about the isolation of a new mother, the determination of a woman fighting cancer, or the joy of a woman hearing the news that she's about to become a grandma, she gets it right. It's a quick read, and some in my book group felt that "nothing happened" and that it was "too happy," but if you like to spend time with a community of women caring for each other, this is a great choice. "The women ranged in age, but they were all old enough to know that in the currency of friendship, empathy is more valuable than accuracy."
