The Blackberry Tea Club
(2005 Nominee: PEN USA Book Award)
by Barbara Herrick
"'Thirty thousand years ago, holy women looked the way I do now,' she thinks. 'I finally have the body of a goddess.' It's this blend of humor and candor that makes Herrick's meditations a delight. Simple and straightforward, it will resonate with women who prefer to see the inevitable emotional upheaval that accompanies aging as 'a spiritual passage' rather than a midlife crisis." -Publisher's Weekly
