This book will provide everything a woman needs to know to thrive during her hormonal transition and beyond, as well as the tools to help her take charge of her health at this pivotal life stage.

Warshawski novel. “A Calamity of Souls” by David Baldacci is set in the tumultuous year of 1968 in Southern Virginia.
