Some time ago, I got an email, asking for contributions to a book in the making. The concept was to ask women to share their journal entries from a particular day – June 29, 2004. Those would then be compiled into a book, offering a snapshot of women’s lives.
Well, the book has finally arrived. I’m sure it’s going to be fabulous. There’s a voyeur in all of us and getting to read other people’s diaries is certainly one manifestation of that.
Publisher’s Weekly had this to say: “There is not one piece in this compilation that is not captivating. Following up on the editors’ first collection of journal entries published in 2003, they selected 34 diaries out of 493 submissions written by a cross-section of American women on June 29, 2004. The collection’s success rests on both the astonishing variety of participants and the sincerity with which they describe an ordinary day�These women communicate bravery, compassion, humor and perseverance in this compulsively readable volume.”
