Summary: "Cecelia Ahern gives us thirty stories, all titled 'The Woman Who...', that capture the different facets of women's lives. Humorous, moving and poignant, the stories capture the moments the characters are overwhelmed by guilt, confusion, frustration, intimidation, exhaustion -- the private moments when they feel the need to roar"--Provided by publisher.Summary: I am woman, hear me roar. Have you ever imagined a different life? Have you ever stood at a crossroads, undecided? Have you ever had a moment when you wanted to roar? The women in these startlingly-original stories are all of us: the women who befriend us, the women who encourage us, the women who make us brave. From "The Woman Who Slowly Disappeared" to "The Woman Who Was Kept on the Shelf" and "The Woman Who Returned and Exchanged her Husband", discover thirty touching, often hilarious, stories and meet thirty very different women. Each discovers her strength; each realizes she holds the power to make a change.
