Lots of humorous stories from other women will help us all to see yet again that laughter is the best medicine during life's trials and tribulations.

Who would think mid-life could be funny?

I never would have thought hot flashes and strange hormones would be funny business--then I read Mentalpause. It gave me pause for thought! Laura has a warm wit that cuts through the saccharine approach to real life issues. Looking at circumstances through Laura's eyes makes me smile at the present (and the future) rather than wishing I had the money to run to the plastic surgeon! This book is well worth the read. It made me laugh until I snorted and when I caught my breath I said, "Wow! That was deep!"

Glad I Was Born A Man

Just when you thought it was safe to cross the street, Laura Jensen Walker comes along and hits us with a bus load of laughs that sends our funny bones soaring. After reading this latest collection from one of the foremost Christian humorists I can only conclude how happy I am God made me a man-albeit a married man who will be vicariously experiencing the symptoms of "mentalpause" soon enough.

Mentalpause and Other Midlife Laughs

This book is a delightfully entertaining, wonderfully humorous, and OH SO TRUE walk through those midlife menopausal "joys." Every woman who has reached this stage of life will see herself in each and every hilarious chapter. You'll find yourself saying, "Been there, Done that, and OH NO, this is yet to come?" A must read!
