"Anderson's warm, inviting tone will appeal to women who feel, as she did, that they need time and space to reinvent themselves."--Publishers Weekly"Encourages us all to take the breaks that we need to regain our emotional balance . . . a fulfilling chronicle."--Philadelphia InquirerFrom the bestselling author of A Year by the Sea, this memoir is a coming-of-age story for every woman who has asked herself: "Now what"The Second Journey chronicles Anderson's quest to restore equilibrium to her life after the responsibilities of being a mother, wife, grandmother, caretaker, and bestselling author distract her--almost dangerously--from taking care of herself. Suffused with Anderson's characteristic humor and warmth, this book is a permission slip for any woman who seeks to step out of line and create her own destiny. As Joan shares her stories of balancing love, marriage, family, parents, and spirituality, she inspires and instructs readers to find peace and a unique purpose within their own lives. She offers reassurance that the best is yet to come, and empowers other women to come of age in the middle of life.
I've enjoyed reading other books by Joan Anderson and this one was just as interesting, encouraging and enjoyable. She has a way of sharing her story that inspires the reader to reflect on ways we can find our purpose and make time for ourselves even if we aren't yet able to participate in her Weekend by the Sea. I really appreciate that she didn't give up on her marriage but just took some time for herself. So many times people throw away many years with a spouse when they could have just taken a sabatical like she did. Of course, her husband had staying power, too, and was willing to work thru their issues. I recommend this book and her first book "A Year by the Sea", especially to anyone who feels stagnant in their marriage. Her writing also stirs my desire to visit Cape Cod again. I bought an autographed copy of her first book when I was on my first visit there and I long to go again.
