Book Reviews of In Search of the Menopause Ranch
Book Review: A fine blend of good humor, warmth, and wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
On a road trip with her sister, author Deborah Vaughn gleaned the inspiration for In Search of the Menopause Ranch, a novel about a woman on the cusp of middle age. She loses consciousness and wakes up at a place called The Menopause Ranch, fearing that she is undergoing premature dementia. "Maybe not having children had something to do with it. I had all the equipment and understood the process, but that 20-or-so years commitment was more than I could contemplate. Besides, I'd heard the Mom Threat ("I hope you have kids one day and I hope they're just like you. WAA!") often enough to scare me, if not sterile, then certainly cautious. Maybe I'd used up all the eggs in my carton not taking pregnancy breaks. Maybe having no maternal instincts really is a bad thing." A fine blend of good humor, warmth, and wisdom, mixed with historical perspective of what women have forgotten about themselves through the ages, recommended as a giftbook or simply for the pleasure of reading and reawakening the lost sides of oneself.
