Flying Solo: Single Women in Midlife

This was not an easy read. I wouldn't really suggest buying it unless you have to as I did. Really.

been useful to several clients , both men & women--men have similar problems & many want to learn more abt women. Dr bob

At the recommendation of a co-worker, I read "Flying Solo" when I was a young 30ish single female. I didn't want to read it because I was angry about still being single, but I finally did read it and was glad I did. It made me realize how rich a single female can make her life. I read it over 15 years ago and am recommending it now to a new friend going through an unwanted divorce after 23 years of marriage. Hopefully, it will help her on the path to healing. We women have a lot of enjoy in this blessed life, as well as to offer the world - with or without a partner. Read this book. It will make you take a deep, refreshing breath and help you enjoy your single or attached life.

This book, though 10 years old, is a "must read" for all women, single or married, in any stage of adult life. It provides an in-depth understanding of how The Dream, promulgated by our culture, results in most women, despite the progress we've made, still struggling to maintain their own sense of self in the context of relationships, especially with men. I'm on my THIRD reading!
