A WEEKEND TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE Find Your Authentic Self After a Lifetime of Being All Things to All People

The author’s one-year retreat away from her family inspired the book A YEAR BY THE SEA--and now this radiant follow-up primer on discovering oneself on a weekend escape. Based on Erik Erickson’s eight stages of life, Anderson’s advice that women examine their overgenerous ways is supported by a maturity and balance you don’t always hear in personal growth programs for women. Her thoughtfulness about women’s identity issues is impressive as each of her insights and suggestions clicks into place and begins to seem possible. Renee Raudman’s tender interpretation of this material is satisfying--a perfect means to help women summon up the courage to do the retreat and find something special in themselves. T.W.
