The last of the good girls

"This engaging, heartfelt memoir quotes Judith Barrington from a 1993 poetry workshop: 'The poet's job is to write the truth. And then write the truth below the truth.' That is precisely what Mary Ann Woodruff has done in often lyrical prose and occaisional poetry. She did it first with her life, discovering truth under truth, and now with this remarkable book. A life well-lived deserves a story well-told such as this. Set against carefully detailed American horizons of the Northeast, the Midwest, and ultimately the Northwest, Woodruff traces her interior horizons from model homemaker, mother, and wife to successful consultant, deeper realized self, and a new experience of home - with herself, with supportive women, and finally with another woman"--Rev. Chris Glaser in the foreword.
