"Fortytude will make the reader feel inspired, connected, and grateful for the decades to come."    - LEE WOODRUFF, coauthor of In an Instant

In Fortytude, therapist Sarah Brokaw reveals the surprisingly accessible principles that can help women sail through their midlife years-more happily, with more accomplishments, and with grace and satisfaction. Brokaw shares stories, experiences, and insights of women from all walks of life. We hear the stories of women without children, stay-at-home moms, divorced moms, and stepmoms, as well as Brokaw's personal fertility story.

From the varied lives of women who are embarking on or looking back on their forties, Brokaw distills the values and lessons that will make the decade and those that follow fulfilling for all women.

"Whether your forty is fast approaching or a long look back, Sarah Brokaw's Fortytude is a wise and compassionate book filled with specific exercises for meeting life's bumps and challenges."     -MAUREEN ORTH, Vanity Fair correspondent
