Summary
"We all carry stories within us wrenching, redemptive, extraordinary, and laced with unexpected and hardwon wisdom. These are the reallife stories that a group of women tell each other when they gather for a deep and structured conversation once a month in a suburban living room about the things that really matter. They discover that life can be a heartbeat away from chaos; that bad things happen to good people; that good people do outrageous things; that the desire for transformation is enduringly human. A mother tells of the heartbreaking loss of control when her daughter develops anorexia. A sister reveals the high psychological cost of being hated by a sibling over the course of her life. Husbands leave wives; wives take lovers; friendships shatter; wrong choices turn out to be right ones; agency is lost and reclaimed. Profound, layered and clearsighted, this collection of reallife stories reveals the emotional untidiness that lies below the shiny surface of modern life and reminds us of the power of real conversation to enlighten, heal and transform."
