By Anna Quindlen
Rating: Great
When I finished this book, I felt a little sad. Not because the book was over, but the truth that the book confronts. The retrospect of Anna Quindlen's life puts into words what every women in the "baby boomer" generation faces. There is something to be learned, contemplated and revered in the life of the women in this generation. It maybe a closer look at ones own mothers life, confronting aging, the importance of girlfriends, raising children, body image, or the climb up the professional ladder. It is not a "self help" book, but a book about life, joys, and sorrows that one is either facing or will be soon. I found myself wanting to highlight some of Ms. Quindlen's words of wisdom, so I could share them with my own daughter, sister, and mother. Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake is defiantly a book that you will be thinking about long after you finish it!
