Those close female friends of yours – you know the ones – would do anything for you. And if you’re like me, they are essential to your well-being. Female friendships offer a very particular kind of nourishment, a sense of being fully seen and heard and loved, flaws and all. These relationships crop up everywhere in my writing, including in A WOMAN IN PINK, which author Sarah Pazur says highlights “the radical empathy of female friendship and the stern but loving counsel that it can generate.”

Like my life, this book just wouldn’t work without the female friendships at the center of it.
