From Library Journal:

Mention self-help books and most thinking people will opt for a nap. Here's a notable exception, however, that should get readers moving, or at least thinking about its message. Mother-daughter team Lennox (Smith, gerontology) and Shapiro, a China expert, draw from real-life stories and tell how women improved their lives by making changes, sometimes quite small ones, in the areas of career, money, relationships, and living arrangements, and frequently realized lasting benefits. Although this is not a workbook, each chapter is sprinkled with poignant questions and practical exercises that give the reader pause and encouragement. Word of mouth is sure to keep this well-written, insightful book circulating. It is highly recommended.

From Publishers Weekly:

A mother-daughter team, both recent divorcees, here present a guide for women "on the threshold of change." Using a combination of vignettes, exercises and suggested tasks intended to promote self-observation and awareness, they explore ways to alter one's life through a series of steps. Whether new directions are induced by divorce, death of a spouse, or by a desire to do something different, practical considerations such as housing, finances, education, relationships, etc., should influence decisions, stress Lennox, who teaches sociology and anthropology at Smith, and Shapiro, coauthor of Son of the Revolution. Inspirational and realistic, the guide will support women whose lives are in flux.
