As most women will attest, no relationship can take the place of a good girlfriend. At every stage of life, close female friends support each other, enjoy life together and listen patiently as the other vents. This latest addition to the Chicken Soup series celebrates this relationship with dozens of heartwarming tales. Divided into sections such as "Overcoming Obstacles," "Special Moments" and "The True Meaning of Friendship," these stories, poems and letters touch on all aspects of friendship at all stages of life, from lighthearted moments to more serious and sometimes sad occasions. In "Princess Poobah," Betsy Carter humorously describes the way she and her best friend, Sherry-Lee, fought back, after being excluded from high school sororities, by forming their own group, one with no function but with a distinctive handshake, as "a cool antidote to the elite sororities." In "The Swing," Teresa Cleary eloquently recalls the way she and Jenny coped with the death of another friend from heart disease. And in "The Gift of Baby Drowsy," Jodi L. Severson relates a lifetime of shared experiences with Lauri that demonstrates how the two mischievous girls grew into loyal friends who helped each other through difficult times. These entertaining and heartfelt recollections will be enjoyed by many. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Book Description
An inspiring and humorous celebration of the special bond of friendship.
She championed you through your years wearing braces and you calmed her nerves before her walk down the aisle. She advised you on what to wear to land your perfect job and you taught her how to get her newborn to sleep during a midnight phone call. Together you've dug through your backyard looking for pirate's treasure and dug through bargain bins during shopping outings; you’ve shared your secrets, doubts and dreams; and you look forward to conquering hot flashes together.
You may have met her in kindergarten or at work, in a playgroup or on the Internet—but if she’s cheered you up, cheered you on or lifted your spirit, Chicken Soup for the Girlfriend’s Soul is the perfect tribute to that special friend. Whether she's your lunch companion, your sounding board, your confidant, or all of the above, she anchors you during life's storms and helps you revel in life's joys.
With tales of finding friends in unexpected places, of strength during life's toughest challenges, and of forging lifelong bonds and memories, this book will tug at your heart and hers as you celebrate the unique spirit of female friendship.
