The Madwoman in the Volvo - My Year of Raging Hormones

by SandraTsingLoh (Author)

Synopsis

In a voice that is wry, disarming and totally candid, the imaginatively twisted and fearless (Los Angeles Times) Sandra Tsing Loh tells the moving and laugh-out-loud tale of her roller coaster ride through the change . Loh chronicles relatable, everyday perils: raising daughters, weathering hormonal changes, and the ups and downs of a career and a relationship. She writes about an affair and the explosion of her marriage, and keeping her daughters off Facebook while managing the legal and marital hijinks of her eighty- nine-year-old father.

In The Madwoman in the Volvo Loh speaks hilariously and honestly, recounting her journey through a tumultuous time of life, trying to maintain appearances during an epic hormonal-physical, emotional, mental and spiritual-change. The upbeat conclusion: it does get better.
