About This Book
If you could send a letter back through time to your younger self, what
would the letter say?
In this moving collection, forty-one famous women write letters to the
women they once were, filled with advice and insights they wish they had
had when they were younger.
Today show correspondent Ann Curry writes to herself as a rookie
reporter in her first job, telling herself not to change so much to fit
in, urging her young self, "It is time to be bold about who you really
are." Country music superstar Lee Ann Womack reflects on the
stressed-out year spent recording her first album and encourages her
younger self to enjoy the moment, not just the end result. And Maya
Angelou, leaving home at seventeen with a newborn baby in her arms,
assures herself she will succeed on her own, even if she does return
home every now and then.
These remarkable women are joined by Madeleine Albright, Queen Noor of
Jordan, Cokie Roberts, Naomi Wolf, Eileen Fisher, Jane Kaczmarek,
Olympia Dukakis, Macy Gray, and many others. Their letters contain rare
glimpses into the personal lives of extraordinary women and powerful
wisdom that readers will treasure.
