"A mom in her early fifties, Clover knows she no longer turns heads the way she used to, and she's only really missed when dinner isn't on the table on time. Then Clover wakes up one morning to discover she's invisible-truly invisible."
"Calling Invisible Women" is a hilarious take on the plight of the metaphorically and physically invisible woman. Clover is leading a common suburban life. Her son,Nick, has graduated college but moved back home. His daily struggle with his unemployment status prevents him from noticing that anything is amiss with his mother. Clover's daughter, Evie, is a stereotypical, cheerleader at Ohio State. Young, blond and attached to her cellphone as well as her boyfriend, Vlad, Evie is too self-absorbed to notice her mother's invisibility.

Cheryl Strayed hiked the Pacific Crest Trail at age twenty-six and transformed her journals into a 300 page story of every step. Thank goodness she did! Most of us will know before we start the story that her journey will be emotional as well as physical, but her determination is beyond admirable. I have never felt so present in a memoir. I alternated between feeling that I was right beside her, to cheering her on, to feeling I was her. Hopefully Cheryl's journey will speak to other women. The ones who can never put their finger on the source of their inner conflicts, or the ones who just can't break free from them. Obviously we aren't all going to slap on a backpack and fix all our problems, but the lessons we learn from her strength are infinite.
