This Day: Diaries from American Women

"Intensely entertaining. This Day is as addictive as any reality TV show but with one real difference. The book lures you in with its amazingly candid details of women's lives, but it also leaves you feeling truly inspired. I highly recommend this book."
— Ben Pappas, Us Weekly magazine

"This Day is like a reality show that doesn't require a television—it lets you peek into the intimate details of other women's lives, from the mundane to the awe-inspiring. I picked out a random story to start, and found myself hooked, turning page after page. I wanted to talk to each of these fascinating women.!"
— Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women
