Synopsis

Nearly a decade after the debut of her bestselling, lifechanging classic A Year by the Sea, Joan is so busy helping other women search for their true selves and taking care of several generations of her family that she doesnt even realize how out of control her life has become. Ironically, she finds she needs to listen to her own advice more than anyone else does. The Second Journey chronicles Joan's quest to restore her own equilibrium and find herself again. Suffused with her characteristic humor and warmth, this is a book for any woman who wants to know how to awaken her own independent spirit and set herself on a new path. Sharing her musings on love, marriage, family, growing older, aging parents, and spirituality, Joan offers reassurances that the best is yet to come and empowers other women to come of age in the middle of life.

There were some nuggets that were enlightening and my overall takeaw......more

Goodreads review by Leah on January 02, 2013

I really loved this book as a followup to A Year By The Sea...I haven't read An Unfinished Marriage yet, but plan to soon. Joan is such an independent woman, a free spirit, a deep thinker who looks inside herself, always striving to become a better person and gain a deeper understanding of what bein......more
