The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women & a Forty-Year Friendship

The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women & a Forty-Year Friendship
By Jeffrey Zaslow

A true story about eleven childhood friends from Ames, Iowa. These girls built an extraordinary friendship and managed to maintain it throughout the years. They share their story with Jeffrey Zaslow, a Wall Street Journal columnist and the coauthor of The Last Lecture.

The girls have a lifetime of memories in common and stories of how their friendship has endured through “college and careers, marriage and motherhood, dating and divorce, a child’s illness, and the mysterious death of one member of the group.”

I laughed and cried and thought about my own friends. I couldn’t put it down.
