A Woman Should Have:
- One old love she can imagine going back to... and one who reminds her how far she has come...
- Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to...
- Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an an hour...
- A youth she's content to leave behind...
- A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age...
- A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lacy bra...
- One friend who makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...
- A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
- Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guest feel honored...
- A feeling of control over her destiny.
- How to fall in love without losing herself... how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship...
- When to try harder... and when to walk away...
- That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents...
- That her childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over...
- What she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
- How to live alone, even if she doesn't like it...
- Whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...
- Where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing...
- What she can and cannot accomplish in a day... a month... a year.
