Giveaway: The Lives of Women

I adore the group of books we've gathered in this week's giveaway, because they are about different stages that the distaff side of humanity experiences -- and they are three different types of books, too.

For marriage, we've got "Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding" by Judith Martin and Jacobina Martin (Miss Manners and her daughter), a how-to book that is also extremely funny. For grandmotherhood, we've got "Eye of My Heart" by Barbara Graham, an anthology of essays from many wonderful writers. For running away and trying to figure it all out? "The Scenic Route" by Binnie Kirshenbaum, a novel with incredibly beautiful language and style.

Ten randomly chosen giveaway winners will receive all three of these books. All you have to do for a chance is answer this question in our Comments section:

If you wrote a book about one woman -- any woman -- what would it be called?

 

 

Authors mentioned in this post:

If I wrote a book about a woman it would be called "Experiencing Now" because it is all about what is happening in this moment.

a book about one woman

 I AM writing a book about one woman, so I can't give you the title yet.  Instead, I'll tell you what phrase my mom wants engraved on her headstone: "I told you I was sick."  That's a woman someone should write a book about!

The book giveaway

I would love to win the book giveaway for the Scenic Route. Some scenice routes I never will forget because of the overwhelming beauty of them, like the nine mile one near Carmel, others I will never forget because of the people who were with me.
