"  Today&amp;#039;s book review is from Woman&amp;#039;s Day Associate Health Editor Abby Cuffey. She read The Girls from Ames by Jeffrey Zaslow. Perhaps it&amp;#039;s the Midwesterner in me, but I was immediately drawn to this touching and entertaining book that chronicles a forty-year friendship among a group of eleven women from Ames, Iowa. Zaslow does an astonishingly thorough job of telling their individual stories, from childhood to adulthood, as well as detailing how their friendship has morphed along with the ups and downs of life. Throughout all of the career changes, babies, divorces and even death, one thing stayed the same: they remained friends and supported each other. Told through their own memories, interviews with people who knew them in their early years and accompanied by photographs, this book is an empowering and uplifting nod to the importance of long-lasting female friendships. \u2014Abby Cuffey We&amp;#039;d love to hear about what you&amp;#039;re reading, too.
