A Letter from the Self Improvement Book Expert at Borders:

Dear Borders Customer,

I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to a new title, The Girls From Ames. The author is Jeffrey Zaslow, who coauthored The Last Lecture with Randy Pausch. I guarantee that this book will move you and tug at your heartstrings in the same way, as you get to know these girls and the women they have become.

The Girls From Ames is a true story about 11 childhood friends and their journey over the last forty years. Throughout the course of the book, you'll meet the girls and watch as the bonds they've formed have carried them through the trials and tribulations of their teen years, college years, marriages, raising children, etc. You'll see how they have grown to rely on each other for support and encouragement regardless of what life throws at them and how bonds can influence who we are and who we may eventually become. The Girls From Ames will make you realize the importance of friendships and how these relationships help to enrich our lives.
