A Full Moon Rising...and the Tao of Menopause

In A Full Moon Rising ...and the Tao of Menopause Kimberly Quinn Smith very humorously tells the tale of entering into the new stage of mid-life while associating hormonal moments with the lunar schedule and her symbolic metamorphosis into a menopausal werewolf. Throughout her journey she flashes back to her colorful 70's childhood where she grew up in the eclectic town of New Paltz New York a small town just an hour outside of Manhattan. She then brings us back through her early motherhood years and lands us where she resides currently with a house full of teenagers. Throughout her tale she makes intermittent contemplative reflections on her halfway-ness and explores strategies of how to learn to embrace the Principles of the Tao of Menopause.
