Но со временем роли лидера и ведомой меняются… «Женские убеждения» – межпоколенческий роман о главенстве и амбициях, об эго, жертвенности и любви, о том, каково это – искать свой путь, поддержку и внутреннюю уверенность, как наполнить свою жизнь смыслом.

Но так ли все было однозначно? Что, если у семьи есть своя писательская тайна?

Now that they're all 30, each is clinging to the last vestiges of youth--and a little concerned that Maddy and Peter's baby, not...
