Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir - Hardcover

A sharp, honest memoir about what happens when the ambitions of young adulthood collide with middle age, motherhood, and the question of whether good enough might actually be the point.

This is the book for anyone who thought ambition would feel a certain way and it didn't, or who's reinventing what success means. It's a conversation with the reader about desire, compromise, and what we actually want versus what we thought we should want. Written with humor and clarity.

Faculty in women's studies, psychology, and memoir writing courses assign this. It's the kind of book colleagues give to each other.
