The instant "New York Times" bestseller, now in paperback: a
moving tribute to female friendships, with the inspiring story of
eleven girls and the ten women they became, from the coauthor of
the million-copy bestseller "The Last Lecture"
As children, they formed a special bond, growing up in the small
town of Ames, Iowa. As young women, they moved to eighth different
states, yet they managed to maintain an extraordinary friendship
that would carry them through college and careers, marriage and
motherhood, dating and divorce, the death of a child, and the
mysterious death of the eleventh member of their group. Capturing
their remarkable story, "The Girls from Ames" is a testament to the
enduring, deep bonds of women as they experience life's challenges,
and the power of friendship to overcome even the most daunting
odds.
The girls, now in their forties, have a lifetime of memories in
common, some evocative of their generation and some that will
resonate with any woman who has ever had a friend. "The Girls from
Ames" demonstrates how close female relationships can shape every
aspect of women's lives-their sense of themselves, their choice of
men, their need for validation, their relationships with their
mothers, their dreams for their daughters-and reveals how such
friendships thrive, rewarding those who have committed to them.
With both universal events and deeply personal moments, it's a book
that every woman will relate to and be inspired by.
