The Hey Nonny Handbook
Author: Julia Jeffries
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 304
This is a literary survival guide to the middle years for women with teenage children, elderly parents and husbands in crisis. Take two women: One finds her high-flying career has flown her straight into a brick wall; the other discovers her husband lurking in the shrubbery, texting his mistress. This is the book they wrote. Written for women, by women, "The Hey Nonny Handbook" shines a torch on our problems, from maintaining health and sanity, coping with family relationships, the importance of female friendships and how to relate to men. Women have always banded together for reasons of safety and mutual support. The Hey Nonny Club started life as a loose collection of women (not a collection of loose women!) who had troubles in their life. Not only were their husbands and partners in crisis, but they had illnesses of their own to deal with - as well as teenage children, elderly parents and financial problems. By sharing monologues and poems, these women helped each other and now they would like to help you. Here is an address on middle age; its joys, its dilemmas and its compensations. This book is also an epitaph for the many women who have shown courage and laughter in the face of all kinds of adversity. The authors hope that women everywhere will learn from their experiences and benefit from their words, from the power-dressed executive, to the mother in track pants mucking out the guinea pigs! "Hey Nonny" can be taken to the beach, read in bed, or kept on the kitchen shelf to be dipped into at time of need.
