Chick Lit for Old Hens
Looking for something thought-provoking? Want to move away from escapist fluff and breathless melodrama? Here we have something for the more mature girl – intelligent, well-rounded, pitch perfect dialogue, rich and delicious: women’s fiction, or for that matter, anybody’s fiction. These books feature three dimensional characters that help readers realize they are not alone in the world, and that their struggles with life's unexpected turns and detours have been or will be experienced by other men and women; these are stories of friendship, empowerment and survival.
