Book Synopsis

Born in the U.S.A....
American gals are taking liberties -- and pursuing happiness on their own terms -- in this star-studded story collection featuring the nation's red-hot women writers.

They've declared their independence!
Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes) learns "The Truth About Nigel" -- and the trouble with falling for an incognito Hollywood actor. Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada) sends a single New Yorker on a backpacking trip halfway around the world -- where she sees her love life back home with new eyes -- in "The Bamboo Confessions." A harried mom with a hit novel crosses the pond in "My Great Brit Book Tour" by Adriana Trigiani (Lucia, Lucia), and turns a crumbling talk show appearance into a sweet success. Also uniting their talents in this free-spirited anthology are
JULIANNA BAGGOTT - CINDY CHUPACK - LYNDA CURNYN - QUINN DALTON - LAUREN HENDERSON - JUDI HENDRICKS - GRETCHEN LASKAS - CLAIRE LaZEBNIK - CHRIS MANBY - SARAH MLYNOWSKI - MELISSA SENATE - JILL SMOLINSKI - NANCY SPARLING - LAURA WOLF
