Synopsis

Words Matter: A collection of vignettes examining the shared spaces of motherhood, marriage, friendship, aging, and femininity

By: Judy Marano

Words Matter is about all the topics we don't like to talk about: aging, parenting, children, adversity. These moments in time can be read by themselves or as part of the whole story of the author finding her voice through her experiences. The stories are shared by many although the names and places may change. We are all struggling to figure out where we belong and how we can grow and evolve as we age. What makes this book unique is that anyone who picks it up will find a story or stories that seem to be written just for them. The author hopes readers take away a sense of comradery as they strive to be their best every day.

About the Author

She is a college professor of writing and public speaking as well as a business owner.

The Moving Words Review, the movingwords.com:

As we grow older, we become less likely to discuss the more challenging topics that plague our

everyday lives. Some examples of these topics include aging, parenting, children, and adversity.

Author Judy Marano pens an incredible book that faces these topics head-on. Part self-help and

part memoir, this handy book explores some aspects of our lives that serve as a learning source.

Regardless of how old or what stage we're in, the book reminds us that it's never too late to sit

back, relax, and reflect on these challenges.

Empathetic, compassionate, and inspirational-"Words Matter" is a lively guide to embracing

yourself as a growing woman. While the book may seem to focus on female issues primarily,

there is no doubt that plenty of gentlemen will find this book immensely useful. Despite being a

quick read, this book provides lessons we know but may have forgotten. From learning to

embrace mindfulness to the benefits of cleaning-the author does a stellar job of giving us a

friendly reminder now and then.

I love how well-organized this book is. With so many self-help books readily available in the

market, it can be overwhelming to pick just the right book. Fortunately, encountering "Words

Matter" has made this dive into the self-help genre less intimidating. Thanks to the author's

refreshing words and sincere advice, reading this book doesn't even feel like most self-help

books. If I were to compare it to a sensation, reading "Words Matter" feels like talking to your

favorite childhood teacher. While you have grown older and have done other things, her words

and lessons still linger in your heart for years to come.

In summary, the author also does an incredible job of relating to the audience and doesn't waste

time mincing words. Much like the title, every word (and phrase) in "Word

Matters" undoubtedly matters. Suppose you're thinking of giving a close friend or family

member a handy book. In that case, this book is a serious contender for your Christmas shopping

list.
