Amazon.com description: Product Description: âAn extraordinary panorama of womenâs lives today.ââThe New York Times Book Review
In detailed, revealing portraits of women from their teens through their sixties, Maggie Scarf explores the core experiences of womenâs lives and discovers what can happen when the days and years scurry by, leaving unfinished the tasks that transform us from child to girl to woman.
Praise for Unfinished Business
âReal-life problems are thoughtfully and sympathetically analyzed in Unfinished Business. . . . Love and loss, deprivation and fulfillment, the pangs of growing up and, worse, the plight of those who never doâthese are Scarfâs subjects, and she gives them the attention and respect rightly due such integral threads in the fabric of our lives.ââCosmopolitan
âNo woman or man will be untouhed by Maggie Scarfâs brilliant research. There is a gift for all of us in these pagesâthat freeing, exhilarating emotion: thank God I read this bookâI thought I was the only one.ââNancy Friday
