"Desperate women need to talk to you" was originally a headline for an advertisement for phone sex spotted by author Joan Frank. Marvelling at the irony and the bluntness, she thought of the similarity to her own life - woman desperately trying to make sense of midlife. She decided to tell all. Representing the enormous boomer generation rounding the corner into midlife, this book tackles relevant issues of ageing and fading dreams to eating and singledom. The essays convey the psychic dilemmas that confound many people: of the terror of ageing and longing for the fountain of youth; career stagnation; being a single, childless woman in a world of family values; the agony and ecstasy of entering a new relationship; divorce; resolving memories of parents; and strange, complicated married lives.
