Review
'Years ago, I read Sharon's book Another Chance. It changed my life. Now, I read this book and smile and notice again that she is having a huge impact on my life. In this new book, she shows us how to face our lives with courage, enthusiasm, dignity, and knowledge. She has helped me move from Maiden to Mover and now to Mystic. She has given me and my clients many things to think about, talk about, and most important, put into action. I love her advice and wisdom. I thoroughly recommend this book to all those who want richness in their lives.'

Synopsis
Being a woman is at once complex and fulfilling. Women walk through life in many different ways, moving through the years from maiden to mover to mystic, all the while taking the journey seriously. Women know how to 'be' instead of just 'do,' and the wants and needs they have manifest themselves in different ways in different stages of their lives. The real connection, though, is always there'"little girls giggle and play together, teens gather for slumber parties and boy-talk, adult women laugh and cry over families and careers'"and the sharing deepens and becomes increasingly valuable.
Calling All Womenis about finding more and helpful ways to be wise and connected, supportive of each other in ways that better ourselves and each other. It addresses the normal transitions and circumstances in everyone's life in a way that any reader will find empowering and comforting at the same time. A Buddhist proverb says 'When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.' Cruse isthat teacher, and this book is filled with sage advice and observations culled from more than thirty years of sharing with countless women the ways they have lived in the world.
