If you are approaching menopause, Shmirshky is the book for you. In a humorous manner, E discusses how many of us feel as we navigate through the difficult years that include pre, peri and postmenopause.

In previous generations menopause was rarely discussed even between mother and daughter. Women tried to hide their feelings and suffered extreme embarrassment when hot flashes caused beads of perspiration to form on their face.

This light-hearted book provides comfort to the reader as she learns that this is a perfectly normal phase in her life and her symptoms are shared by millions of other women.

Although entertaining and funny, Shmirshky is full of useful information including an explanation of hormone replacement therapies.

It’s a small, easy-to-read book that makes a great gift for a friend or relative.
