Unplugged at last! The Flipside of Midlife Madness
by Sallie Astor Burdine
Category: Self-Help

With over 24 chapters and approximately 300 pages, Sallie Burdine tells her story with raw and refreshing honesty as she views her life before, during and after instant menopause. She brilliantly uses the metaphor of unplugged musicians -- whose resulting music has a new quality of clarity and beauty -- to examine how women increasingly become plugged in--from the start of menses at puberty until menopause, upon whence, they begin to unplug -- not only from the cotton corks (tampons), but from the previous pressures and expectations of parents, men and society, in general. As the author shares her personal odyssey of becoming unplugged and how it affected her mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually--she entertains, encourages and enlightens, making this more than just another memoir.
