About The Woman who (lost And) Found Her Wings

Product Description This 160-page novel chronicles the life of artist Laura Sheffield from age 12 to age 44. Each chapter covers a pivotal time in Laura's life-when she starts her period, has her first date, experiences college and unrequited love, deals with birth control and guilt, falls in love, gives up her name (and herself) in marriage, and finally in midlife, finds herself, her power and her own "happily everafter." Played against a backdrop of Laura's relationship with her husband, The Woman Who (Lost and) Found Her Wings, is about loving the one person in life that we must love unconditionally if we are to love at all--ourselves. By the book's end, that is Laura's triumph. And our own. The Woman Who (Lost and) Found Her Wings is two books in one, and includes Finding Your Wings, a series of chapter-by-chapter questions that asks the reader to explore her own experiences of growing up female and, if desired, share them with her women friends. Review This book held my attention immediately. I wanted to continue growing with Laura. -- Sallie Wandling, LSW Grief Counselor, Mt. Evans Hospice About the Author M.
