Living Out Loud is a collection of heartfelt, hilarious and beautifully written newspaper columns. Anna Quindlen articulates what so many of us are living in a manner that makes us think "Wait!That’s my life she’s talking about!" She takes parenting, personality, work, marriage, and society at large and melds her experiences into the experiences of us all. She is witty, and sentimental, and often just plain makes a reader think.

For many years her column was the first thing I read in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. It always set a tone for my day, usually an upbeat one ( )
