THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER

Thinking out loud is what Anna Quindlen does best. A syndicated columnist with her finger on the pulse of women's lives, and her heart in a place we all share, she writes about the passions, politics, and peculiarities of Americans everywhere. From gays in the military, to the race for First Lady, to the trials of modern motherhood and the right to choose, Anna Quindlen's views always fascinate.

More of her views can be found in LIVING OUT LOUD, and OBJECT LESSONS.

From the Trade Paperback edition.
