Editorial : From Booklist Sonnenberg follows her harrowing memoir of her dysfunctional mother, Her Last Death (2008), with this equally frank assessment of female friendships. Perhaps because she suffered so much neglect at her mother’s hands, Sonnenberg looked to her female friends to provide recognition and nurturing at each of the key stages in her life. In grade school and college, as a newlywed and then a young mother, and during her parents’ deaths, she avidly sought out sustenance from her friends to carry her through. There are some stunning moments of connection here: one college acquaintance is unafraid of Sonnenberg’s staggering grief after her father’s death and steps in to both mourn with and comfort her during an extremely stressful period. There are also many brutally candid snapshots of female friendships gone awry, as some were put off by Sonnenberg’s voracious need, maintaining that friendship is a two-way street.

Good practice material.. There is an alphabetical list of illnesses with treatments at the end of the book that is almost 1/4th of the book. I highly recommend it!
The author will be a national figure in a few years time. Very interesting life story of the author and her family. At first I didn't know if it would be a great book, mainly since this was an assignment for my English class, but the more I read the more I wanted to keep reading. A whole lot of reading to get to one chapter that gives some good moves to make you feel better. The most complex scientific concepts are described in sufficient detail to tell the story, yet with clarity. More than just a valentine to swing, THE SWING BOOK is highly informative and entertaining. I was to start by saying that the seller did specify that this was the instructor's edition of the text and the book was sent timely and in excellent condition. Some may not be put off by these gaffs, but such sloppiness risks diminishing the author's
