When Ilene Beckerman told us the story of her clothes in Love, Loss, and What I Wore, she captivated women of all ages. Her story moved people to tears and made us laugh out loud, too. Ilene--"Gingy," as she's known--showed us ourselves.
Now Gingy looks at one of life's happiest (and most stressful) events: the planning of a daughter's wedding. Once again this Everywoman takes us lovingly, and hilariously, through another passage in a woman's life. Whether it's searching for a mother-of-the-bride dress that doesn't look like something Mrs. Khrushchev would have worn, or choosing hors d'oeuvres that won't give the guests indigestion, Gingy offers a fresh look at a subject that needs a fresh look. She describes a year of agony and ecstasy--and along the way shares with us a mother's love and expectations for her daughter.
