“In taking a detour off my main path of bragging through man-adventures and my quest for love, I wanted to reflect on the women who have significantly affected my life. These important women
have taken part in (whether they know it or not) shaping who I am. I am grateful for the life lessons taught by them from when I was just a little girl to my present day adult life. It has been
incredibly fulfilling to find the humor in these stories while writing about them, and doing so has helped me heal.”Annie pays homage to her pseudo grandmother, who loved her family “as if she
birthed us herself.” She talks about the mothers and moms she’s had in her life, and the differences between them. She writes of the teachers who helped build her intellect and nurtured her
drive, and the amazing women she chose to be her sisters.
