Act like you're having a good time : essays / Michele Weldon.
"In this honest and tender collection of essays, award-winning memoirist Michele Weldon asks what it means to be a mature woman seeking to secure a life of purpose and meaning through work, family and relationships"-- Provided by publisher.
Weldon's essays ask what it means to be a mature woman seeking a life of purpose and meaning through work, family, and relationships. Facing ageism and invisibility within popular culture, questioning white privilege and her understanding of racism, Weldon examines the effects of raising children, striving for applause, failing expectations, forming new friendships, reconciling lost dreams, and restoring one's faith. Weldon explores the universal experience of learning to accept oneself and ask essential questions-- even if there are no easy answers. -- adapted from back cover.
