Work Description
As children, they formed a special bond, growing up in the small town of Ames, Iowa. As young women, they moved to eight different states, yet they managed to maintain an extraordinary friendship that would carry them through college and careers, marriage and motherhood, dating and divorce, the death of a child, and the mysterious death of the eleventh member of their group. Capturing their remarkable story, The Girls from Ames is a testament to the enduring, deep bonds of women as they experience lifes challenges, and the power of friendship to overcome even the most daunting odds. Because they came of age in an era of unprecedented opportunity for women, their story also examines how feminisms major breakthroughs have been seized or wasted, and captures what it was like to be girls in the sixties, to come of age in the seventies and eighties, to be new mothers in the nineties, and enter middle age in the new millenniumand how close female relationships can shape every aspect of womens lives. With both universal events and deeply personal moments, its a book that every woman will relate to and be inspired by.
