review 1: I wish I had sisters like this. These delightful women, so different from each other, all facing different challenges, were a delight to meet. Thirty-five years after they first found each other in a playground, Frankie looks back at the struggles they experienced as young wives and mothers, budding writers all, and writes a poignant memoir of their early days. The joyful ending left me smiling through tears as they stood proudly together, and I'm so glad I read this book.
review 2: An interesting trip through the 60's and 70's from the perspective of 5 young wives and mothers in Palo Alto CA. I couldn't help but remember what I was doing and thinking during each major event, such as the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, the first lunar landing, Billie Jean King
... more's defeat of Bobby Riggs, etc., and wondering what my own mother might have been thinking during the same time. Those women had the opportunity to influence their daughters and sons, some of whom may be leading major corporations today, in a more diverse and hopefully inclusive world. This book is a gentle reminder of who we were as a nation back then. less
