Written with hope, candor and a biting sense of humor, Terri Lee Ryan utilizes her life experiences as a platform in Life Is One Big To-Do List: A Woman's Life After 40. Offering advice and solace in dealing with women's daily to-do lists - including managing time-consuming mates, needy parents, demoralizing divorce, job lay-offs and the aging process - she urges women to start living for themselves, not for others. Ryan shares her life and other women's lives at an age when their hormones are diminishing faster than they can take estrogen, their career options are dwindling, and the cellulite on the backs of their legs is multiplying faster than a virus! Ryan addresses the small and the not-so-small daily challenges women encounter that make them just want to hide under the covers instead of deal with life. Fun, honest and pertinent, this is a must-read for women over forty."Terri Lee Ryan actually makes readers look forward to life after 40 in an amusing and insightful way.
