THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
Thinking out loud is what Anna Quindlen does best. A syndicated columnist with her finger on the pulse of women's lives, and her heart in a place we all share, she writes about the passions, politics, and peculiarities of Americans everywhere. From gays in the military, to the race for First Lady, to the trials of modern motherhood and the right to choose, Anna Quindlen's views always fascinate.
More of her views can be found in LIVING OUT LOUD, and OBJECT LESSONS.

From the Publisher:

Some years ago I had the opportunity to meet Anna Quindlen at a sales conference. She is one of the most charming and genuine people I've met in my publishing career. Of course I expected nothing less, since I had long been a die-hard fan of her regular column in the New York Times. These collected columns are a snapshot of all our lives during the early 1990's. Filled with wonderful imagery and the hopes and dreams she and her husband have for their children, the reader discovers that these columns speak to us all.

-- Sue Miller, National Accounts Manager
