Navigating the messy middle, ann douglas

Douglas & McIntyre, 2022

Here’s a hot flash: Navigating the Messy Middle takes the temperature of women going through midlife in an honest, funny, encouraging way. Well-known for her bestselling The Mother of All parenting books, Ann Douglas gets to the heart of what most women can’t get out of their GPs about something that profoundly affects 50% of the population. Her deep dive tackles much more than just hot flashes and mood swings. Readers experience what great books do best: despite the solitary nature of reading, we feel part of a wider, supportive community, all navigating the same messy middle.
