Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake: A Memoir of a Woman's Life

Writing about her life and the lives of women today, looking both back and ahead and celebrating it all, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake employs author Anna Quindlen's own experiences to explore what matters most to women at different ages

From childhood memories to manic motherhood to middle age, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake shows that along with the downsides of age, she says, can come wisdom and a perspective on life that makes it both satisfying and even joyful. 

“Serving up generous portions of her wise, commonsensical, irresistibly quotable take on life.  What Nora Ephron does for body image and Anne Lamott for spiritual neuroses, Quindlen achieves on the home front.” -- NPR
