Mentalpause and Other Midlife Laughs

Mentalpause and Other Midlife Laughs

Do you often forget the words for common things, like "husband" or "sink"? Have you suddenly found subzero temperatures pleasant? Do you survive on chocolate supplements?

Ask these questions of any woman who has been through menopause, is going through it, or is soon to hit it, and she'll say yes (and then, most likely, cry).

About the Book

Midlife and menopause can be . . . what was I going to say? Oh yeah, they can be challenging times. But there are plenty of reasons to be thankful, too. In this warm and lighthearted book, the incomparable Laura Jensen Walker celebrates life and helps you laugh in the midst of hot flashes and memory loss.

Laura shares hilarious vignettes and words of wisdom from her own experience and those of other women who have been there, are there, or are headed into “mentalpause.” Don’t worry when you find yourself entering “fuddy-duddydom” or suddenly see your mother’s face in the mirror. Turn down the air-conditioning and join Laura for a lot of laughs instead.

Laura Jensen Walker went into early menopause after her bout with cancer and can sympathize with other “mentalpause” sufferers and survivors. As in Thanks for the Mammogram!, she uses hilarious vignettes and a delightful mix of wit and wisdom to connect with her readers. With chapters about how “All Varicose Veins Lead to Rome” and “PMS Is a Picnic in the Park,” this book helps women dealing with “mentalpause” and those around them gain a better understanding–and certainly a lighter attitude–about this passage of life.

Mentalpause and Other Midlife Laughs will get readers laughing at themselves as they hear Laura lightheartedly describe her age spots, lament her sagging everything, and look anew at love after forty.

About the Author
Laura Jensen Walker

Laura Jensen Walker has loved words ever since she read 103 books in Miss Vopelensky's first-grade class. That's when she first dreamed of becoming a writer. Her dream came true many years later when her first book was published at the age of forty.

Now after more than a decade away from publishing she's thrilled to be back and writing again!

She's delighted that at long last, her memoir, Good Girl, the book of her soul, releases in June 2022. This is the best, most transparent, and vulnerable book she has ever written. Laura also released a trio of fun cozy mysteries during the pandemic: Murder Most Sweet (A Bookish Baker Mystery) which she's delighted to say was nominated for an Agatha Award, Hope, Faith, & a Corpse (A Faith Chapel Mystery)  and Deadly Delights, her second Bookish Baker Mystery. She's currently working on some historical fiction.

Laura lives in Northern California with her Renaissance-man husband and their canine daughter Mellie.
