Something That Matters: Life, Love, and Unexpected Adventures in the Middle of the Journey is the passionate new collection of personal essays from the Oakland, California Wednesday Writers group. Forty Bay Area writers explore midlife women’s second acts and share true tales about everything from sex, love, and longtime marriage to divorce and widowhood, from raising and launching children to redefining work lives and caring for aging parents— while savoring life’s unpredictable bumps and delights along the way.
     Co-edited by Elizabeth Fishel (click here for bio) and Terri Hinte (click here for terrihinte.com), the book will benefit the new Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center at the Alta Bates Summit Hospital in Oakland.
