| | | From the co-author of the bestselling "The Last Lecture" comes a moving tribute to female friendships, with the inspiring story of 11 girls and the women they became.
Annotation:
The co-author of THE LAST LECTURE tells the story of 11 girlhood friends from Ames, Iowa, and how their lives alternately diverged and intertwined as they grew into adulthood. Remarkably, over the years, all the friends held onto their individual collections of photographs, letters, and mementos, documenting their wonderful friendship. While depicting this extraordinary circle of women, Zaslow also examines how the deep and unique bonds of female friendship can transform a group of individuals into a collective entity.
| Praise| "[Zaslow] pored over diaries, old photos and letters, in the process becoming an honorary member of the group. There are memories of first kisses, school dances, late-night keggers in cornfields, lover affairs, fights, secret code words still used today and the at-once exhilarating and daunting experience of growing up." - Jaweed Kaleem 10/20/2009 |
