Murder on my Mind: A Memoir of Menopause

Description

Menopause. Every woman walks through this lava pit of hormones, remorse and chicken wing cravings, yet few of us are offered a warning about the perils, let alone a survival guide. Following the success of The Girl in the Gold Bikini, author Dana Goldstein is throwing back the curtain on the most challenging years of a woman's life. Holding nothing back, the author brings her unique sense of humour to her menopausal journey, sharing stories of hair growing where it shouldn't, erotic dreams that leave her shaken for days and her struggle to stop herself from killing her beloved husband. Murder on My Mind will make you laugh out loud while while making you feel better about the chaos of your own menopausal journey. "Dana Goldstein is the writer who makes you feel like you are best friends sharing a bottle of wine over extremely intimate and hilarious life stories. She is a gifted storyteller who has the ability to share shockingly personal and relatable stories peppered with touching experiences to leave you feeling positive about your own experiences. I read this book in one sitting while laughing out loud often and nodding in agreement at many of her experiences. This book is a glimpse into the torture that most women of a certain age get to experience and Dana is not afraid to prepare you (in gory detail) for what may lay ahead for you. Dana will then remind you to be true to yourself and explore all of the wonder that being a woman offers." ~ Heather Flanagan, advance reader
