The instant New York Times bestseller, now in paperback: a moving tribute to female friendships, with the inspiring report of eleven young ladies and the ten women they truly became, from the coauthor of the million-copy bestseller The Previous Lecture
As children, they formed a special relationship, growing up in the tiny town of Ames, Iowa. As young women, they moved to eighth different says, yet they were able to maintain a fantastic friendship that could take them through school and careers, relationship and motherhood, seeing and divorce, the loss of life of a child, and the mysterious loss of life of the eleventh person in their group. Capturing their remarkable report, The Women from Ames is a testament to the enduring, deep bonds of women as they experience life's troubles, and the energy of companionship to overcome even the most daunting odds.
Girls, now in their forties, have an eternity of memories in keeping, some evocative of these generation and some that will resonate with any girl who has ever had a friend. The Women from Ames demonstrates how close female relationships can shape every aspect of women's lives-their sense of themselves, their choice of men, their dependence on validation, their romantic relationships with their moms, their dreams for their daughters-and uncovers how such friendships flourish, rewarding those who have committed to them. With both widespread happenings and deeply personal moments, it's a e book that every girl will relate to and be motivated by.
