“Eleven childhood friends from Ames, Iowa, now in their forties, keep in close touch with e-mails and reunions where they share news of childbirth, jobs, marriages, divorces, and one death. Through Zaslow’s writing and Andrea Gallo’s voicing, each one emerges as a distinct persona, be it sexual adventurer, overbearing parent, or modest beauty.”

Best-selling author Jeffrey Zaslow is a Will Rogers Humanitarian Award winner and was the replacement advice columnist for Ann Landers in the Chicago Sun-Times. Here he turns his eye to a group of 11 friends who grew up in Ames, Iowa, during the 1960s, a period of unprecedented opportunity for women. What emerges is an inspiring look at the power of friendship to overcome challenges.
