Title: Growing Your Own Turtleneck

Author: Martha Bolton

Publisher: Bethany House

ISBN: 0-7652-0003-6

Genre: Inspirational/Comedy

 

What is a woman to do when she looks in the mirror and discovers she’s grown her own turtleneck? What can you say when you discover you’ve driven for miles and your turn signal has been blinking all along? What do you do when your night sweats are hot enough to drown small children and pets?

 

Pick up a copy of Growing Your Own Turtleneck and learn to laugh about these things and many others.

 

Topics include (but are not limited to)

 

. The Five People You Meet in a Buffet Line

. Lasts Breaths and Country Music

. Ideal Destinations for the Menopausal Traveler

. Medical Definitions for the Middle-Aged Patient and Beyond

. I Hereby Bequeath

. Let’s Leave My Brain Out of This

. The Face-Lift-of-the-Month Club

 

In Martha Bolton’s humorous style, you’ll find yourself laughing even as you realize that some of these things are actually happening to . . . you! And as a result, you will learn to laugh at yourself. Finding your slippers in the refrigerator? Join the club. Upset because your check has the wrong cartoon character on it? Ms. Bolton suggests that the bank should open a separate line for menopausal customers.

 

I found myself laughing out loud in each chapter and even reading parts of it to my teenage sons (who really couldn’t care less). And I agree with Ms. Bolton when she maintains that maybe menopausal women should start their own version of the Red Hat Club.
