The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship

This is an interesting study of women and friendships. It hit close to home because I do not have many close women friends. I've never easily made friends with women. Thinking about it, my mom and her sisters do not have women friends. I read this at the time that the author was killed in a car accident so that was on my mind a lot. As a writer of creative nonfiction, I got as much instruction on craft from this book as I did information.
