Download The Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones AudioBook Free
From an "imaginatively twisted and fearless" article writer (Los Angeles Times), a amusing memoir of middle age group. In a tone that is wry, disarming, and totally candid, Sandra Tsing Loh says the moving and laugh-out-loud story of her roller coaster through "the change". This is not your grandmother's menopause story. Loh chronicles absolutely relatable, everyday perils: nurturing preteen daughters, weathering hormone changes, and going right through the fluctuations of a career and a romantic relationship. She creates also about an affair and the explosion of her relationship, the pressures of keeping her daughters off Facebook while controlling the legal and marital hijinks of her 89-year-old father, and a despairing withdrawal to a little cabin where she mixed wine beverage and Ambien, paralyzing her arm into a claw. In one outrageous chapter, a hormonal Loh finds herself trekking to her preteen daughter's school to confront a 10-year-old bully half her size. In another she makes an attempt to subsist on only zero-calorie noodles and the occasional fat-free yogurt in a hopeless effort to vanquish added midlife weight. In The Madwoman in the Volvo Loh talks hilariously and actually about her life as a mother, a little princess, and an artist. She recounts her voyage by way of a tumultuous time of life, hoping to maintain looks during an epic hormonal - and that means physical, mental, mental, and spiritual - change. The upbeat realization: it does get better.
