Women have very different needs at midlife than men. Endings. Beginnings... When Midlife Women Leave Home in Search of Authenticity shines a compassionate light on the often-misunderstood journey that many midlife woman embark on to pursue spiritual integration, wholeness, and a more authentic life. While they now represent the largest segment of the adult female population, little is known about the unique challenges a woman faces at midlife. It is not a book about divorce, although divorce can be part of the midlife equation. Rather, the book looks deeply at the transition stories of sixteen women who so desperately wished to come home to true self that they were willing to risk everything in the process. The book offers both practical and spiritual tools and insights, and there is a story for every woman, regardless of where she is on her journey.
