Breaking Free

In twenty-seven personal and daring essays some of our finest women writers examine the second half of their lives.

These are writers who get down and dirty who have looked at themselves as they are and at life as it is to discover not only what time has taken from them but also the powerful gifts that only come with age and experience.Contributors include:Isabel AllendeMaya AngelouM.
