• Prologue: gloomings -- Burning woman -- Bridges -- Menopause, old -- Menopause, new -- Life in the (happiness) projects -- Gym dandy -- A brief discussion of manopause -- Parenting adolescents during perimenopause, or medieval times -- Bench warrant for my father's arrest -- Losing it -- The shit hits the fan -- Couples therapy round 117 -- Rental dog -- House cat -- The sudden death of my father -- The caregiver's journey -- Ladies of the lake -- The great retreat -- Dinner at home -- Dr. Valerie -- The wisdom of menopause -- The contents of my in-box -- Turning fifty -- Old lady running -- Menopause tips.

• "In a voice that is wry, disarming, and totally candid, Sandra Tsing Loh tells the moving and laugh-out-loud tales of her roller coaster through 'the change.' This is not your grandmother's menopause story. Loh chronicles the utterly relatable, everyday perils: raising preteen daughters, weathering hormonal changes, and the ups and downs of a career and a relationship. She writes also about an affair and the explosion of her marriage, while managing the legal and marital hijinks of her eighty-nine-year-old dad. The upbeat conclusion: it does get better."--Back cover.
