The Wisdom of Women: Intimate Stories of Love, Loss and Laughter

Description

Candida Baker grew up in a colourful family, with an actor father and costume designer mother. Her parents' complex, and at times chaotic, lives made for a challenging environment, and from an early age Candida understood the importance of friends, finding comfort and support from many close friendships with women and from ongoing loving relationships with all her sisters. In The Wisdom of Women, Candida celebrates all the wisdom and nurturing supportive female friends, family, mentors, and even strangers, can bring to our lives. With great deftness she weaves the tapestry of her life around the experiences of other women, who freely share their stories of kindness, laughter, betrayal and loss. This book positively sparkles with womanly warmth and humour.

Candida Baker is an author, photographer, event director, journalist and animal lover. Her books include novels, short stories and works of non-fiction.
