MEETING HER — Book One of THE WOMAN CALLED HER

I thought menopause was changing me. Maybe it was introducing me to myself.

What happens when the woman who has always handled everything begins to feel unfamiliar to herself?

In MEETING HER, Melanie D. Peña writes from the middle of that question—with candour, humour and tenderness. She calls this emerging version of herself HER.

This intimate memoir explores changing emotions, a changing body, desire, loneliness, relationships, ambition without energy, and the complicated work of recognizing yourself again. It is for the woman who still has dreams, still wants connection, and is trying to understand why familiar things suddenly feel different.

Inside this book

• Personal reflections on midlife and the menopausal transition
